Nut based foods are not only rich in nutrients, especially high in protein, minerals, and vitamins. Moderate consumption is beneficial for the body, and nut based foods have a crispy and refreshing taste. Many people like to buy them as snacks. Therefore, some mothers also want to give their babies some nut based foods. They asked, can babies eat pistachios when they are one and a half years old?
Generally speaking, babies can come into contact with nut based foods after six months, so they can eat pistachios at one and a half years old. However, due to the high fat content of nut based foods, babies' digestive function in the gastrointestinal tract is not sound. Therefore, babies should not consume too much nut based foods before the age of three, nor should they eat whole nuts, otherwise they may choke on the trachea and pose a risk of suffocation. It is best to grind them into powder and add them to complementary foods for babies to eat.
The specific method for feeding nuts to babies is to first turn the nuts into a powder in a blender, then put them in a sealed container and refrigerate them in the refrigerator. However, the prepared nut powder should not be left for too long, and should be used up within two weeks. Therefore, it is best to buy as much nut powder as possible for babies to eat, and not too much. Then, you can directly mix the nut powder into a paste or put it in complementary foods. Note that when feeding babies at the beginning, it is best to eat a small amount first to see if they have any allergic reactions.
If the baby does not show any allergic symptoms after eating several times, the mother can continue to give the baby nuts and try new nut foods, and so on. If the baby does not have any allergies to nut foods, several nut powders can be mixed for the baby to eat. However, the mother should pay attention to choosing original and unprocessed nut foods for the baby to eat.
