Never offer whole or chopped nuts before age 5 — they are one of the most common choking hazards. Serve finely ground, or as a smooth nut butter thinned with water, breast milk or formula.
Walnuts are a common allergen. When introducing, offer a tiny amount alone and watch for any allergic reactions for several days. Never offer whole nuts or large pieces to babies due to a severe choking risk. Whole and chopped nuts stay a choking hazard until age 5, so keep serving them finely ground or as a smooth, thinned butter.
Tip
Store walnuts in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to keep them fresh and prevent them from going rancid.
