I am a pediatrician and love your website overall.
ReplyDeleteDon't want to be critical but please remember that whole grapes (frozen or not) are huge choking hazard for toddlers and children, not to be given unless cut into quarters. Also, any type of peanut or tree nut should not be given in any form (like peanut butter) until after the first year at least (if not longer) because of the risk for creating life long sensitivities to.
Also, no honey in the first year of life because of the risk of botulism.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for posting! I really appreciate any input. I will add to cut the grapes. I did, however, put in small print on the bottom of the post to keep in mind all allergies. I will make it bigger. Thanks Again!
