Choking hazard
Almond Butter can be a choking hazard for babies and young children. Prepare it exactly as described for your baby’s age, seat your baby upright and always supervise meals.
Gagging (loud coughing, watery eyes, a red face) is a normal part of learning to eat. Choking is silent: your baby cannot cough, cry or breathe and needs immediate help. Learn infant CPR and choking rescue.

Tree nut allergen. Introduce carefully.
First time with tree nuts: Offer smooth nut butters thinned, or finely ground nuts mixed into food. Never whole or chopped nuts.
If your baby has severe eczema or a known food allergy, talk to your pediatrician before introducing allergens.
