Sesame seeds
« on: July 27, 2011, 11:27:58 am »
I would like to add Tahini, which is made from Sesame seeds to DS pureed veg. When would I be bale to do that? I think I read somewhere there is a risk with seeds.

It is a common allergy to have but the jury is out in the UK anyway on when and how.  Certainly after 6 months and if your child has any allergies (e.g asthma or eczema) I'd be more careful.  Best advice though is probably to ask your doctor or another health care professional.

I took a nutrition class when DS1 was a baby and they said it can be introduced from 9+mos with no known allergies, just to proceed with caution and keep an eye.  Tahini is a common ingredient in hummus and lots of babies will be eating that before a year.  :)
