Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro - A podcast by Katie Ferraro

#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. Listen to this episode to learn: Why tree nut allergy is different from peanut, but also how they present similar challenges in feeding to baby safely Two easy ways to include almonds safely in your baby’s diet...with advice on why almond milk is NOT a good bet for introducing almond protein to your baby Shownotes for this episode can be found here: https://www.babyledweaning.co/podcast/39 Links from this episode: Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro program with the 100 First Foods™ Daily Meal Plan, join here: https://babyledweaning.co/program  Baby-Led Weaning for Beginners free online workshop with 100 First Foods™ list to all attendees, register here: https://babyledweaning.co/baby-led-weaning-for-beginners Other episodes related to this topic: Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) information page on tree nuts & tree nut allergy - including a list of tree nuts (there’s a lot!).
