When and how should I introduce nuts into my toddler's diet?
Nuts are nutritious but also common allergens. Most parents introduce them around 7-8 months, starting with one type at a time (e.g., almond or cashew) to monitor for reactions. Offer them in safe, easy-to-digest forms like finely ground powder mixed into porridge or as a smooth nut butter. Continue with one variety for 10-15 days before introducing another. If your child has a history of severe allergies, always discuss the timing and method with your paediatrician first.
