So you are starting to introduce your baby to new foods, and there is a whole world out there of snacks to try.  It can be exciting and worrying as your baby starts discovering new snacks. Will they like it? Can they choke on it? Is it healthy? And the most important question, are they allergic to it? 

Peanut allergies come with a lot of unknowns as you usually don’t know until you develop an allergic reaction. AtNosh we understand all the ups and downs of raising a baby and we want to give you more ups than downs.

When Is The Right Time to Introduce Peanuts?

It is important to introduce babies to common food allergies by 12 months of age, as stated by theASCIA. One of the most common is peanut allergies. At Nosh we want to give you a small guide on how to properly introduce your baby to peanut snacks and, more specifically, our peanut puffs.

How to Introduce Peanuts to Your Child

The first thing you need to do is find a way to feed your baby peanuts, without the fear of choking. Peanuts are really small and if they aren’t chewed properly, it can be a choking hazard for your baby.

The best way to introduce your baby to peanuts is by either thinning out peanut butter and adding it to cereal or yogurt in small amounts or by dissolving peanut puffs in breast milk or formula and feeding it by spoon according tohealthychildren.org. At Nosh we actually providepeanut puffs in two delicious flavors; Peanut butter and Peanut butter + Banana. They are also organic baby puffs.

The key is to introduce peanuts in small amounts like you would sample a lotion to make sure your skin isn’t sensitive to it. It is the safest way to see if your baby has peanut allergies.Healthychildren.org also states that breastfeeding for the first 6 months can lessen the risk of peanut allergies in families where peanut allergies are common.
