Can a 6-month-old eat walnuts?
⚡ Short answer: A 6-month-old can have walnuts only as very finely ground powder, in small amounts and watched for allergies; whole or large pieces are a choking risk and not recommended.

A 6-month-old eating solids for the first time can have walnuts, but carefully. Walnut is a choking hazard if whole or in large pieces and is never recommended. But finely ground (powder) walnuts can be mixed into yogurt, puree, or baby cereal in a teaspoon's worth, and you can watch for allergies.
If you're trying it for the first time, give it in the morning as a single food, and watch over the next 3 days for any allergy signs (rash, trouble breathing, swelling). If your baby has eczema, reactions to other foods, or a family history of allergies, ask your pediatrician first.
