What nuts can a 9-month-old baby eat?

For a 9-month-old baby, nuts should never be given whole or in large chunks due to choking risk. However, they can be given as very finely ground powder or thoroughly mixed into a puree or porridge. Because of allergy risk, each new nut should be introduced individually and in small amounts (just a tip of a knife), a few days apart.
Nuts that can be safely introduced:
- Almond (finely ground)
- Walnut (very finely chopped)
- Hazelnut (ground powder)
- Cashew (pureed to a smooth, nut butter-like consistency)
- Peanut (as smooth, unsalted peanut butter)
Things to avoid: Whole nuts, large pieces, salted, sugary or spiced varieties (like roasted salted pistachios), hard or sticky nut butters (like thick peanut butter).
If you notice any signs of allergic reaction (rash, swelling of lips/tongue, difficulty breathing, vomiting), seek medical help immediately.
