Some people asked for more detailed advice and I hope the few examples below is helpful.
Bamba-type sticks/puffs (21 sticks or 17 g)
4 months -1 year
Mix sticks/puffs with 6 teaspoons of water before feeding directly from the spoon
Could mix crushed sticks/puffs after 6 months with 4-5 teaspoons fruit/vegetable puree
1 year and older
No need for mixing as children can just eat the stick/puffs from the bag
Peanut butter (2 teaspoons or 9-10 g)
4 months -1 year
Mix with 1½ – 2 teaspoons of warm water, which should be cooled down before feeding to the infant
Mix with 4-5 teaspoons of fruit or vegetable puree
Mix with 1 small infant size yogurt or ⅓ – ⅔ cup or 3 oz. of yogurt
1 year and older
The most sensible option at this point is to spread peanut butter thinly on a slide of toast
For those who want the option of mixing:
- Use ¼ – 1cup of fruit or vegetable puree
- Use ½ – 1 cup or 3- 8 oz. yogurt
Ground peanuts (2 ½ teaspoons or 8 g peanuts)
