Fine to serve
Suitable at this age with the usual preparation described below.
Cashew milk yogurt (plain and unsweetened) can be served in portions of about 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 ml or 0.5-1 oz) as part of a meal. This is a good size for a baby's developing digestive system. Pair it with mashed fruits or vegetable purees and offer alongside iron-rich options like meat, lentils, or beans when possible. Always introduce new foods one at a time, monitoring for reactions, especially as cashew is a tree nut and can trigger allergies. Ensure the yogurt is smooth without chunks. Avoid products with added sugars or flavors.
Fine to serve
Suitable at this age with the usual preparation described below.
Offer 2-3 tablespoons (30-45 ml or 1-1.5 oz) of plain, unsweetened cashew milk yogurt as part of a balanced meal or snack. You can mix in mashed or finely chopped soft fruit, a sprinkle of ground seeds, or serve alongside finger foods like diced cooked vegetables or soft grains for variety. Balance meals with protein and iron-rich choices. Continue to avoid yogurts with added sugars or large chunks. Cashew is a common allergen; monitor your child for any reactions and consult your healthcare provider with concerns.
Fine to serve
Suitable at this age with the usual preparation described below.
Serve 3-4 tablespoons (45-60 ml or 1.5-2 oz) of cashew milk yogurt as part of meals or snacks. At this age, toddlers may enjoy it with a greater variety of toppings: soft fruits, finely ground nuts or smooth nut butter (if no allergy), whole grain cereal, or as a component in smoothies. It's a nutritious option, but always check the label for added sugars or unnecessary additives. Continue to pair with iron- and protein-rich foods for a balanced diet. If nut allergies run in your family, check with your healthcare provider before serving.

Purée or baby-led weaning is the question parents agonise over, and the trial evidence says it barely matters. Choking, allergen timing and what stays off the plate are the decisions that do — here is the map of all of them.

You decide what, when and where; your child decides whether and how much. Ellyn Satter's model, the validated evidence behind it, and the pressure loop it exists to break.

Start from a food your child already eats and move one sensory step at a time. How to build a chain — and why the evidence sits in repeated exposure rather than in the method itself.
Every child develops chewing and swallowing skills at their own pace. The preparation methods shown are general guidelines; you must always evaluate your individual child's ability before serving. By offering this food, you agree to the following:
