Can a 10-month-old eat sesame?

A 10-month-old can eat sesame — what matters is how you serve it. Sesame seeds pose a choking risk on their own, so instead of giving them directly, serve tahini (sesame paste) mixed into yogurt, added to vegetable puree, or thinly spread on bread. Sesame is one of the common allergens, like eggs and peanuts; if introducing for the first time, start with a small amount (about a teaspoon of tahini), mix it with something your baby knows, and watch the next 2-3 hours for signs of allergy like rash, vomiting, or breathing trouble. If nothing happens, you can gradually increase. If your baby has never eaten sesame or there's a family history of food allergies, check with your pediatrician first.
