Tree nut
Introducing Tree nut to your baby
When to start
Around 6 months.
How to serve
Smooth nut butter thinned with water/milk to a yogurt consistency, or nut butter stirred into oatmeal. Never serve whole nuts or chunky nut butter on a spoon (choking). If peanut is tolerated, other tree nuts do not automatically follow - introduce each one individually.
What to watch for
Hives, swelling, vomiting, wheezing. Tree nut allergies often co-occur with peanut but are distinct.
If a reaction happens
Mild: stop and call pediatrician. Moderate or severe: call emergency services.
How often
2-3 times per week per nut once tolerated.
