Peas have a nice taste and texture that babies typically enjoy. They also provides baby with plant-based protein, vitamins, and minerals (like calcium and iron). But if you are choosing peas as your baby's first food, just make sure baby is wearing a bib before dinnertime starts . . . it is not fun trying to get pea stains out of a onesie!
To prep peas for baby, simply steam fresh or frozen peas and puree them. Add some breast milk or formula if liquid is needed. This puree easily freezes and stores nicely. Some baby-led weaning experts claim that peas are not a choking hazard due to their small size, but as always, it is best to talk to your health care provider before feeding whole peas to your young baby.
