Choking risk: medium
Halve or quarter fresh blueberries - whole blueberries are a choking risk under 12 months. Or mash lightly into yogurt or cereal. Frozen blueberries (thawed and halved) work well.
Halved blueberries for pincer grip practice. Whole frozen (not fresh) can be offered earlier due to softness when thawed.
Whole blueberries as a snack, in pancakes, yogurt, baked goods.
