Tree Nuts: How to Introduce Your Baby to...

KATIE FERRARO
About this episode

#39: Can you safely feed tree nuts to your baby if intact nuts and thick globs of nut butter are a choking hazard? Yes, indeed! And tree nuts are one of the Big 8 allergenic foods and a category of foods that we want to expose baby to early and often...but we need to do so safely.

 

In this episode we are looking at some safe ways to offer baby tree nuts in food form, but without increasing the risk of choking. Tree nuts can be tricky, but by selecting easy-to-feed forms like almond flour baked into unsweetened baked goods or thinned out almond butter that the baby can self-feed, you can introduce our baby to tree nut protein.
