- AndrewDavis 1y agoFunnily enough, one of the things we were recommended was a pack of mini nut butter jars. Made specifically for the purpose of being a easy way to expose little ones to a variety of nuts before they could eat the nuts themselves. Then at each meal put a tiny amount on a spoon and give to the little one before feeding the actual meal, and each meal use the next one butter. It was great. Sure I can buy peanut butter, or maybe cashew at a grocery store. But I've never seen pecan butter, Brazil nut butter etc.

- ytpete 1y agoJust in case: worth noting that honey is quite dangerous for infants because of the high risk of botulism, which infant immune systems struggle to fight off.
