First tree nut: almond butter in pear

Age: 6–8 months (First tastes)
Texture: Purée
Prep: 2 min
Cook: 0 min
Makes: 1 introduction

Ingredients

Contains: Tree nuts

Stir the almond butter into the pear purée until no streaks remain.
Offer a small amount in the morning, on a day you are at home, and wait a few minutes before offering more.

Safety: Never whole nuts, never chopped nuts, never a blob of stiff nut butter — all three are choking hazards. Smooth butter, thinned.

Storage: Serve fresh.

Tip: Tree nuts are introduced separately from peanut, which is a legume. Smooth almond butter thinned into fruit is the safe form.
