Komplet guide til, hvordan du tilbereder og serverer pea til din baby, efter alder.

Peas are a choking hazard for babies under 12 months due to their round shape and small size. For 6-9 months, serve peas smashed with the back of a fork or mashed into other foods, such as pureed vegetables, grains, or yogurt. Avoid serving whole peas at this age. Smashing helps reduce the risk of choking and also makes the nutrients easier to access. If you’re offering mixed textures, ensure peas are thoroughly cooked and very soft before mashing. For baby-led weaning, blend peas into a smooth puree or mash until lumpy but cohesive. Always supervise carefully during meals.
Serve about 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 g / 0.5-1 oz) of mashed or pureed peas as part of a balanced meal, along with iron-rich foods (like beef, lentils, or fortified cereals) and healthy fats (such as avocado or olive oil). Peas add natural sweetness, vibrant color, and a gentle texture that pairs well with other first foods. Remember, babies at this age primarily rely on breastmilk or formula, so solids are for practice and exposure, not the main source of nutrition.

Continue to avoid serving whole peas to children under 18 months, as they remain a common choking hazard. At this stage, you can offer peas smashed with a fork or gently flattened between your fingers. Alternatively, mix peas into soft foods like mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, or scrambled eggs to help them stick together and reduce rolling. If your child is developing a pincer grasp and you wish to practice picking up small foods, ensure the peas are very soft and do a 'squish test'—they should easily smash under gentle pressure. Always supervise and serve with other nutrient-rich finger foods for a balanced meal.
Serve about 2-3 tablespoons (30-45 g / 1-1.5 oz) of peas, thoroughly cooked and mashed or gently squished, alongside protein-rich foods (chicken, fish, beans) and a variety of vegetables and grains. Encourage self-feeding with mashed peas or by mixing into soft foods that help them stick together. This age is ideal for introducing peas as part of a finger food plate to support feeding skills and independence, while still prioritizing safety. Always supervise and ensure a balanced meal.

After 18 months, some children may be ready for whole peas, but caution is still advised. Ensure the peas are very soft and can be easily mashed between fingers. Start by offering a few whole peas and observe your child carefully to gauge readiness. If your child is still learning to chew thoroughly, continue to gently flatten or smash peas before serving. Introduce whole peas as part of a mixed meal, such as in soups, stews, or alongside grains and proteins. Always supervise your child closely, as peas can still present a choking risk up to 3 years old. Serve with a variety of textures and colors for balanced nutrition.
Serve about 3-4 tablespoons (45-60 g / 1.5-2 oz) of peas as part of a balanced plate, including a protein (meat, fish, tofu), whole grains, and other colorful vegetables. At this age, whole peas may be introduced (if soft enough), but always observe closely for chewing ability. Peas are a fun, nutritious finger food and offer fiber, plant protein, and natural sweetness. Continue to offer with a range of textures to encourage food acceptance and skill development.

Hvert barn er forskelligt, og din børnelæge kender din baby bedst. Hvis din baby har kendte allergier, er født for tidligt eller har madproblemer, skal du konsultere din læge, inden du introducerer ny mad. Hvis du nogensinde observerer tegn på en allergisk reaktion — såsom nældefeber, hævelse, opkastning eller vejrtrækningsbesvær — søg øjeblikkelig lægehjælp.
Hvert barn udvikler tygge- og synkefærdigheder i sit eget tempo. De viste tilberedningsmetoder er generelle retningslinjer; du skal altid vurdere dit individuelle barns evne, inden du serverer. Ved at tilbyde denne mad accepterer du følgende:
