Babies and nuts: the great challenge
Have you reached that exciting stage? Congratulations! Move up to the next level and discover the wonderful world of complementary feeding.
First of all, let's lower our expectations: he's not going to eat the whole banana, and maybe instead of a spoonful of yogurt, he'll eat half a spoonful. But be patient. He'll end up eating it and eating it in style, we guarantee it. 🥰
Are nuts dangerous for babies?
Nuts, due to their size and risk of choking, may seem like an enemy for babies, but nothing could be further from the truth. By following the correct guidelines you can introduce them to their diet and provide them with quality nutrients: minerals, vitamins, proteins, iron and all the fantastic properties that they provide us. That's where our 100% pure nut spreads come into play. They will be your best allies for delicious breakfasts, healthy snacks or improvised dinners. 💪
When to introduce nuts?
The sooner the better. Nuts are one of the foods that cause the most allergic reactions, but don't worry... the most common allergies are eggs and milk, so don't panic. We shouldn't delay their introduction for fear of suffering an allergy, quite the opposite! The latest studies have shown that it is good to introduce them early to reduce the possible risk of allergy.
The 3 day rule
Have you heard of the 3-day rule? To make sure that your little one doesn't suffer from any allergies, we'll give him a different nut to try every 3 days. This way, if there is an allergic reaction, we'll be able to identify which nut it is, eliminate it from his diet, and consult the pediatrician (our guru).
How to introduce nuts?
Ground, ground and only ground. Nuts are the main cause of choking in children, so creams are the only safe way to introduce these superfoods into our baby's diet.
Any cream will do?
No. They should be pure, with just one ingredient. They should be organic, pesticides don't taste good. They should be local, we grow very well here. They should not be diluted with water or oils, it's not cool to spoil a superfood. They should not contain added sugars, that would be what was missing.
Get inspired and create
Give free rein to your creativity. We assure you that your child will love nut butters. They are delicious in any recipe: with yogurt, a banana and mango smoothie, as a topping for oat pancakes, on top of a piece of bread to relieve the pain of those damn teeth that want to come out.
Conclusion
You're going to get it, relax those shoulders and enjoy: YOU'RE DOING GREAT!
