He didn't really like them. We'll try again in a few months, I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-introduce#post-1485992 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 09:47:09 +0000 septca 1485992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think most of those things (not sunflower seeds) would be more an issue of choking than allergies. I give DD peanut butter and I put almond meal in all sorts of things for her, but I don't think she could handle full nuts or raisins because she only has 4 teeth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-introduce#post-1485908 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 09:24:00 +0000 Silva 1485908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We give her raisins occasionally....but I just learned that they are a choking hazard. I had no idea. Oops. I guess maybe I'll try to give them to her one at a time so she can't squish them into a giant death ball?<br /> we haven't given her any nuts or seeds, but hadn't really thought of it. she eats a ton of peanut butter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-introduce#post-1485897 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 09:21:37 +0000 rattles 1485897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 15 months and has 8 teeth, and her ped still says nuts would be a choking hazard. I'm guessing the same would go for seeds. She LOVES raisins. I started giving her Plum Organic Tots fruit snacks (they're dried purees) when she was about 9 months (4 teeth), and I moved to raisins/cranberries when she was about 12-13 months (and had added 4 more teeth). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-introduce#post-1485651 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 08:00:25 +0000 blackbird 1485651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kid only has two bottom front teeth, so she's had pieces of raisins, like in a piece of raisin bread....but no nuts. Just peanut butter </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-introduce#post-1485349 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 22:19:22 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1485349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you'll be able to tell. My LO couldn't do any of those right now with 8 teeth and 14 months. Maybe a really soft raisin or cranberry. I just started giving him dried fruit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-introduce#post-1484976 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 19:25:31 +0000 cmomma17 1484976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the input guys. :) LO only has two teeth at almost 11 months, but I bet he could handle raisins and cranberries </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-introduce#post-1484906 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 18:58:16 +0000 junebugmama 1484906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The nuts and seeds probably around 18 months. I know that they can get stuck in throat and cause infections in little ones, and they can't communicate whats going on. </p> <p>I gave him raisins and other dried fruits around 10 months or so, but he had a lot of teeth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-introduce#post-1484849 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 18:37:34 +0000 immabeetoo 1484849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: I've done all those without issues around 12m </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-introduce#post-1484829 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 18:25:40 +0000 katsupgirl 1484829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't tried any of those with my LO yet. I'd guess when they had molars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-introduce#post-1484809 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 18:14:11 +0000 Veggiemama 1484809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did all of those things way after a year, maybe 15-18 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-introduce#post-1484526 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 15:47:22 +0000 sslm 1484526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-can-you-introduce#post-1484516 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 15:44:14 +0000 cmomma17 1484516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sunflower seeds?</p> <p>Almonds (chopped up/slivers)?</p> <p>Dried cranberries and/or raisins? </p>
