  Cannot eat. A one year old baby basically has chewing ability, but their swallowing ability is not very good. At this time, it is best not to give the baby some nut like foods, such as melon seeds and peanuts, which should be avoided. Because chewing nuts requires a lot of effort, babies' baby teeth have just sprouted and are not suitable for eating hard foods. Moreover, nuts may cause babies to swallow improperly and pose a risk of suffocation, so one year old babies are not suitable for eating nuts, and of course, hazelnuts are also not suitable.

  If you want to give your baby hazelnuts, it's best to wait until after the baby is three years old. After the age of three, babies' chewing and swallowing abilities have been greatly enhanced. At this point, babies can fully master swallowing skills and will not suffer from suffocation due to swallowing nuts without chewing. There is no danger to babies. Moreover, hazelnuts are rich in nutrients and can provide babies with sufficient nutrition. It is advisable to give babies more to eat.

  In summary, hazelnuts are good and nutritious, but they are not suitable for one year old babies to eat. For the safety of babies, mothers need to avoid giving them hazelnuts, and if they want to eat them, they need to wait until after the age of three.
