I've found lots of kids love olives.

lol at mini ponce!

18 months, that's pretty good going, it took me about 30 years before my tasstebuds were mature enough.

My ds1 likes them - mind you he'll eat abnything salted.

Ds liked them at 10months. Do limit him though, due to salt content. A friend's ds also liked them at the same age.

Sorry, not quite sure what happened then...

I thought about the salt content too - when we take her to restaurants we have them to start with and she eats them all and wants more!

If there are olives out on the table, DH and I make sure that we eat some so ds can only have a few - he then tends to progress onto breadsticks before the pizza arrives, when he tries to pinch more olives off ours, then enjoys trying out various bits of the mixed salad - again any olives are monitored!

My 15-month old girl loves them as well, don't think it's very harmfull, it's just another type of veg isn't it?
