- 1 tsp smooth peanut butter

Notes
Age: 6+ months

Storage: you can store the peanut yogurt in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Store the steamed sweet potato sticks in an air-tight container for up to 3 days and roll in crushed peanuts before serving.
Peanuts for Baby-Led Weaning: Peanuts, along with other nuts and nut butters, present a choking risk to babies and kids. To minimize this risk, make sure to thin out peanut butter with water, formula, breast milk, or pureed fruit. You can also sprinkle finely ground peanuts on foods.
- 6+ months - Peanut butter mixed into Oatmeal, Yogurt, or Avocado, or mixed into any puree your baby prefers. You can spoon-feed it or load the puree onto a self-feeding spoon and hand it to your baby for them to self-feed. Steamed sweet potato wedges or apples with finely crushed peanuts; thinned out peanut butter on a banana.
- 9+ months - Smear on toast or peanut puffs: You can serve puffs to give your baby practice with their developing pincer grasp, or serve toast if your baby is still struggling with it.
- 12+ months - PB and Honey Sandwich; PB Banana Smoothie: PB and honey is a great combination, and now that your baby is 1, honey can be introduced!
