For children 18 months and older with no nut allergies, Amlou can be offered as part of a varied diet. Ensure it is thinned by mixing it into porridge, plain yogurt, or mashed fruit, or spread it thinly on soft toast strips. Serve Amlou as part of a balanced meal or snack. Do not offer Amlou in thick spoonfuls or sticky globs, as dense paste can cause choking. Always supervise your child while eating.
