Introducing peanut to your baby

The first time

Offer smooth peanut butter thinned with warm water, breast milk or formula, or stirred into a food your baby already eats. Never offer whole peanuts or thick spoonfuls.

Introduce allergens one at a time, starting with single ingredients and small amounts. If your baby has severe eczema or a known food allergy, talk to your pediatrician before introducing allergens.
