Feeding the Future: A Parent's Nutrition Journey

#39: Can you safely offer tree nuts to your baby if whole nuts and thick nut butter are choking hazards? Yes…and it’s a good idea to do tree nuts early and often! Tree nuts are one of the Top 9 allergenic foods, and early introduction may help reduce the risk of developing a tree nut allergy. In this episode, you’ll learn how to safely serve tree nuts to your baby using almond flour and thinned out nut butter. We’ll also cover why almond milk doesn’t count and how to watch for signs of an allergic reaction.

Listen to this episode to learn:

1. How to safely modify common tree nut foods so they’re ideal for even early eaters to try 2. Why almond milk is not an appropriate option for introducing tree nut protein to babies 3. Which tree nuts to try out for your baby (...and why coconut isn’t one of them
