POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy7 months agoA. Yes, dry fruits are healthy for a 2.4-year-old, but they should be given in moderation to avoid digestive issues like constipation or stomach discomfort.
✅ Benefits of Dry Fruits for Toddlers
✔️ Rich in Nutrients – Almonds, walnuts, and cashews provide healthy fats, protein, and vitamins.
✔️ Good for Brain Development – Walnuts and almonds support brain growth.
✔️ Boosts Immunity – Dates and raisins contain iron, fiber, and antioxidants.
✔️ Improves Digestion – Raisins help prevent constipation.
❌ Risks of Overeating Dry Fruits
🚨 Digestive Issues – Too many dry fruits can cause constipation, bloating, or diarrhea.
🚨 Choking Hazard – Whole nuts are hard for toddlers to chew; always crush, soak, or grind them.
🚨 Excess Calories – Dry fruits are calorie-dense, so too much can lead to unwanted weight gain.
🚨 Allergies – Some kids may have nut allergies; introduce new dry fruits one at a time.
✅ How Much Dry Fruits for a 2.4-Year-Old?
🔹 Almonds – 2-3 per day (soaked & peeled for better digestion).
🔹 Walnuts – 1 small piece per day.
🔹 Cashews/Pistachios – 2-3 pieces per day.
🔹 Raisins – 4-5 pieces per day.
🔹 Dates/Figs – 1 small piece occasionally.
🍽️ Best Ways to Give Dry Fruits
✔️ Soak almonds & walnuts overnight for easy digestion.
✔️ Grind and mix into milk, porridge, or roti.
✔️ Make dry fruit powder and add it to kheer, dalia, or smoothies.
✔️ Give as energy balls mixed with dates and coconut.
So, it's okay if your son loves dry fruits, but keep portions small to avoid tummy issues. 😊
