When to introduce nuts ?

Question

My baby is 6 months & I have been feeding her purées since 5 months once a day(got the OK from doctor). How and when can I introduce nuts? Peanut butter, almond butter etc. Just want to make sure she doesn’t have an allergy...no one in my family has a nut allergy but you never know & I want to do this safely! Suggestions ??

Answer

I just smear a little peanut butter on an apple slice and let them gum at it.

Answer

We introduced my son to peanut butter with a banana. His doctor recommends doing it for a few days then move on to the next food allergy. If your child has any reaction to any type of food. Do not try any new foods until they see an allergist. My son ended up being allergic to eggs and we have no food allergies at all in our family so I was shocked!

Answer

You can mix it into yogurt, or oatmeal. The earlier to introduce allergens the better!

Answer

Check out SolidStarts on Instagram. Tons of great information, reviewed by allergists and pediatricians.

Answer

Pediatricians like you to introduce it as soon as possible because it's more likely to keep them from developing an allergy. It's easier just to mix a little peanut butter into food you are giving them, or put it on a cracker. My pediatrician mentioned that you can also get peanut powder and mix that into things

Answer

6 months or older is fine for all allergens unless there is a family history of a severe allergy.

Answer

Some peanut butter is fine can't have peanuts until they are 2 to 3 years old

Answer

We don’t have any food allergies in either of our families so I just gave it to her probably around 4.5 months. I was eating it and just let her lick the spoon a little bit and my hubby let her try it on his ice cream. She didn’t really start eating it on her stuff until about 7-8 months I’d put a little on her baby rice cake and she loved it. Now she is 1.5 and loves if I cut apples in long skinny sticks and she dips in peanut butter.
