FAQ Feeding 6-12 months

Is coconut safe to introduce to a 6-month-old?

Yes, coconut is generally considered safe and is not a common allergen. You can safely offer your baby coconut water or the soft malai (flesh). Many parents worry about allergies if they use coconut oil for massage, but consumption is different. Rest assured, you can introduce it as a new food, just as you would any other, and watch for any reactions.
