For 6-9 months, potatoes should always be served thoroughly cooked until completely soft. Offer as a smooth puree with a spoon, or mash well with a fork, thinning with a bit of breast milk, formula, or water until easy to swallow. Avoid any hard, chunky, or stringy pieces, as these can be difficult for infants without teeth to manage and increase choking risk. You can also present mashed potato in a scoopable mound for baby to self-feed with hands. For baby-led weaning, shape soft mashed potato into small, easy-to-grip logs the size of your index finger (about 5-6 cm/2-2.5 inches long). Avoid cubes or small pieces that could be difficult to pick up or get stuck in the airway.
At 6-9 months, serve 1-2 tbsp (15-30g/0.5-1oz) of well-cooked mashed or pureed potato as part of a balanced meal, alongside iron-rich proteins (like lentils or poultry) and vitamin C-rich veggies (such as sweet peppers or broccoli) to help maximize nutrient absorption. Mix with breast milk or formula for a creamy texture, and introduce new flavors by adding mild herbs or steamed veggies. Potatoes are low in allergens and easy to digest, providing gentle energy for growing babies.

At 9-18 months, continue to serve potatoes well-cooked and soft. You can offer mashed or gently smashed potatoes, or serve soft wedges or thick strips that are easy for your toddler to pick up. For added practice with finger foods, offer potato pieces cut into sticks (about 5-6 cm/2-2.5 inches long), avoiding any crispy or hard edges. If offering as cubes, ensure they are at least 1.5 cm (½ inch) wide, very soft, and never raw. Encourage self-feeding by letting your child use a spoon or their hands. Avoid roasted or fried potato pieces that become hard or crunchy, as these can be choking hazards.
At 9-18 months, increase portions to 2-4 tbsp (30-60g/1-2oz) per meal, serving potatoes as mashed, diced, or wedge-shaped finger food. Always combine with sources of iron (e.g., beans or beef) and vegetables or fruits rich in vitamin C to create a balanced meal. This helps your toddler practice self-feeding and explore varied textures, while receiving important nutrients for growth.

From 18 months on, potatoes can be served in a wider variety of shapes and textures, always thoroughly cooked. Now is a good time to introduce small, soft cubes (about 1-1.5 cm/0.5 inch), or wedges, and you can begin offering bite-sized pieces for more advanced eaters. Continue to avoid hard, undercooked, or crispy potatoes which pose a choking risk. Supervise closely and avoid distractions during mealtime. Encourage use of utensils but allow self-feeding with fingers as needed. Offer potatoes as part of meals with a variety of food groups for balanced nutrition.
At 18+ months, potatoes can be served in slightly larger portions, about 3-5 tbsp (45-75g/1.5-2.5oz), as part of balanced meals. Continue pairing with iron-rich foods and vitamin C sources. Offer different textures: soft cubes, wedges, or even small baked potato pieces. Supervise closely, and keep mealtime calm and screen-free to reduce choking risk.

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:
