For babies 6-9 months, always peel celeriac and cook it thoroughly until it is exceptionally soft – steaming or boiling are effective methods. Mash or puree the cooked celeriac with a small amount of breast milk, formula, or water to achieve a smooth, lump-free consistency. Offer it as a single-ingredient mash or blend it with other soft, cooked root vegetables for taste exploration. At this developmental stage, babies are primarily learning to manage textures, so avoid offering any diced or solid chunks. A simple test: cooked celeriac should easily mash between your thumb and forefinger. Always check the food's temperature before serving.
Introduce 1-2 tablespoons (15-30g / 0.5-1 oz) of thoroughly cooked, mashed, or pureed celeriac. Celeriac is nutrient-rich, but it is classified as a common allergen in Europe, so introduce it in very small amounts and watch your baby closely for any allergic reactions. Serve it as part of a balanced meal that includes a rich iron source (e.g., well-cooked pureed meats, lentils, or iron-fortified cereals) and a vitamin C source (like broccoli or orange) to enhance iron absorption. Initially, offer it once a day. Be aware that celeriac naturally contains high levels of nitrates and sodium; therefore, ensure it's part of a varied diet and do not add any salt during preparation. After feeding, immediately wash your baby's face and hands to prevent potential skin irritation, especially before sun exposure.

For children 9-18 months, continue to cook celeriac thoroughly until it is very soft. You can serve it as a soft, chunky mash or cut it into long, thick sticks suitable for a whole-hand (palmar) grasp (approximately the size of an adult's index finger, roughly 1-2 cm / ½–¾ inch wide and 5-7 cm / 2–3 inches long). If your child has developed a pincer grasp and is accustomed to soft, easily mashed solid foods, you may also offer small, bite-sized pieces (no larger than 0.5 cm / ¼ inch). Close supervision is essential, as undercooked or overly firm celeriac can pose a choking hazard. Raw celeriac should be entirely avoided at this age due to its tough texture and potential for skin irritation.
Provide 2-4 tablespoons (30-60g / 1–2 oz) of soft, thoroughly cooked celeriac, prepared as sticks, chunks, or a chunky mash. Serve it alongside a protein source (e.g., legumes, fish, poultry) and colorful vegetables. Focus on balancing meals throughout the day to ensure adequate intake of iron, healthy fats, and vitamin C. Remember that celeriac naturally contains high levels of nitrates and sodium; ensure it's part of a varied diet and avoid adding salt during preparation. Encourage your child's independence by offering easy-to-grasp pieces for self-feeding. Always wash your child's face and hands promptly after eating to avoid potential skin irritation, particularly before sun exposure.

For toddlers 18 months and older, cooked celeriac can be offered in a wider variety of shapes, such as thin sticks, small cubes (around 1 cm / ⅓ inch), or soft slices. It is crucial that celeriac remains cooked until soft, regardless of the shape. It can be served roasted, incorporated into casseroles, or added to soups and stews. If you choose to offer raw celeriac, it must be grated very finely (into tiny, confetti-like pieces) or cut into slender matchsticks, and only if your child has demonstrated advanced chewing and swallowing proficiency. Even when prepared this way, raw celeriac carries a higher risk of skin irritation (phytophotodermatitis) from its juices if exposed to sunlight. Always supervise meals attentively, as tough, excessively large, or improperly prepared pieces can still present a choking risk. Cooked celeriac is generally safer and easier for toddlers to manage.
Serve 3-5 tablespoons (45-75g / 1.5–2.5 oz) of cooked celeriac in various forms (sticks, cubes, slices, or incorporated into mixed dishes). Ensure it's part of a balanced meal that includes protein, healthy fats, and vitamin-rich vegetables. At this age, toddlers often enjoy exploring new flavors, so offer celeriac alongside roasted vegetables, with dips, or as an ingredient in casseroles and soups. Remember that celeriac naturally contains high levels of nitrates and sodium; ensure it's part of a varied diet and avoid adding salt during preparation. Finely grated raw celeriac can be introduced in salads, but only if your child demonstrates advanced chewing and swallowing proficiency and you prioritize proper hygiene. Always wash your child's face and hands immediately after eating, especially if raw celeriac was consumed, to prevent potential skin irritation (phytophotodermatitis) from celeriac juices exposed to sunlight. Portion sizes will naturally vary based on your child's appetite and hunger cues.
