Hi My baby is 1 year one month shall i give home made dry fruits laddu? which dry fruits is good for babies and which is not?! Kindly suggest

A. You can introduce homemade dry fruits laddu to your 13-month-old baby, but ensure the laddu is prepared in a baby-friendly manner, considering their ability to chew and digest. Dry fruits can be a nutritious addition to your baby's diet when introduced appropriately. **Good dry fruits for babies:** 1. **Almonds:** Rich in healthy fats, protein, and vitamins. Grind them into a fine powder to avoid choking. 2. **Cashews:** High in protein and good fats. Use finely ground. 3. **Walnuts:** Packed with omega-3 fatty acids. Use in small quantities and ensure they are finely ground. 4. **Pistachios:** Provide protein and healthy fats. Grind them well. 5. **Dates:** Natural sweetener and a good source of fiber and minerals. Ensure they are seedless and finely chopped or blended. **Dry fruits to avoid or be cautious with:** 1. **Whole nuts:** Whole nuts can be a choking hazard. Always finely grind or crush them. 2. **Peanuts:** Be cautious as they can cause allergies. Introduce in small amounts and watch for any allergic reactions. 3. **Raisins:** While nutritious, they can also be a choking hazard. Ensure they are chopped very finely or cooked until soft. Always introduce new foods one at a time and watch for any signs of allergies or digestive issues. It's also a good idea to consult your pediatrician before introducing new foods to your baby's diet.
