First steps, first words, first pickle.
Babies have a lot of firsts. First giggle. First faceplant. First time biting you with no remorse. But today? We’re making room for a crunchy new milestone: baby’s first pickle.
That’s right! We’ve teamed up with the briny-brained geniuses at Grillo’s Pickles to help your baby boldly go where few gums have gone before. Think: tangy, cold, crunchy, organic chips of cucumber magic made for little hands and developing palates.
Why a pickle? Why now?
At around 6–9 months, babies are natural-born flavor explorers. That briny, vinegary zing of a pickle? It’s a sensory playground, helping expand your baby’s taste buds, texture tolerance and curiosity about food. Plus, let’s be honest: nothing makes a cuter reaction video than a baby’s first pucker.
But this isn’t about forcing funky flavors. It’s about introducing them—gently, joyfully and with zero pressure. Early exposure to bold tastes (yes, even sour or tangy ones!) can help curb picky eating later on. So go ahead. Pass the pickles.
Time to pucker up, baby!
