Can I give chia seeds for 18 months old

A. Yes, you can give chia seeds to an 18-month-old in moderation. Chia seeds are rich in fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and other essential nutrients. To serve them safely, soak the seeds in water or milk for a few hours to soften them, as dry chia seeds can absorb liquid and expand, which could pose a choking risk. You can add soaked chia seeds to yogurt, smoothies, porridge, or other soft foods that your child enjoys. Start with a small amount to ensure there are no digestive issues or allergic reactions.
