Almond Butter for babies
Why almond butter is great for babies
Vitamin E, magnesium and healthy fats. Tree nuts are a common allergen — introduce one at a time.
How to serve at 6–8 months
Thin smooth almond butter into oatmeal, yogurt, or a paper-thin toast spread.
How to serve at 9–11 months
Thin spreads and mix-ins, offered regularly.
How to serve at 12+ months
Thin spreads; finely ground almonds in baking. No whole nuts until 4+.
Allergen note
Almond Butter counts as a tree nut exposure — one of the 9 common allergens. Current pediatric guidance favors introducing allergens early (around 6 months), one at a time, and keeping them in the diet regularly once tolerated.
