Allergen note
Granola often contains common allergens like nuts, peanuts, and sesame; always check labels and introduce a small amount of a new, single-ingredient granola separately to monitor for reactions.
How to serve
For infants over 6 months, mix a teaspoon of fine granola powder into yogurt or puree; for toddlers, offer 1-2 tablespoons as a finger food or cereal with milk.
Preparation
Always finely grind granola into a powder to avoid choking, then mix it into yogurt or purees; bake it yourself without added sugar or honey, which is unsafe for infants under one.
Texture and choking risk
Due to granola's hard, clumpy nature, serve a fine, flour-like powder mixed into soft foods like yogurt, and always supervise closely during meals.
Starting ages are typical guidance for healthy, full-term babies who show signs of readiness. Your paediatrician may advise differently, especially where there is a family history of allergy.
Track first tastes and reactions
Log when your child first tries granola, note any reaction and see it in the allergen tracker.
