All parents wonder about when is the right time to add grapes to their baby's diet. Grapes do not pose an allergy risk rather, they pose a choking hazard.
Not a good choice to serve as a "meal", grape puree is wonderful mixed with chicken, sweet potato and applesauce. We recommend serving grapes cut into small quarters and smooshed around 10 months old. Using pureed grapes earlier is fine.
We also recommend adding grapes to a baby safe feeder and allowing baby to chew on the grapes through the feeder. Freezing the grapes prior to adding them in the feeder is soothing to teething babies gums.
You should purchase them for use within a few days as the longer they are stored, the more they become bruised and softened.
Choose grapes without bruising, soft spots or cuts.Always try to avoid grapes that are imported from Latin and South America as these countries are able to use pesticides that many other countries have banned.

Peel grapes and blend or puree as needed then serve or blend with other foods.
You may skip the peeling of the grapes if you are able to dice or puree them so that no choking hazard is present.
