Safety Information
How to Serve Coconut aminos to a 6–9 Months Old
Serving Instructions
For infants just starting solids, coconut aminos can add mild, slightly sweet flavor to purées and mashed foods. Use only a very small amount, such as a few drops or up to 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL), blended into a serving of vegetables, grains, or proteins. This introduction supports flavor exploration while keeping sodium intake very low. Avoid serving coconut aminos on their own. For an ideal balanced meal, pair with iron-rich foods like beans or pureed meats, and vitamin C sources like mashed fruits or vegetables to help with nutrient absorption.

How to Serve Coconut aminos to a 9–18 Months Old
Serving Instructions
Coconut aminos can be safely used to add flavor to a variety of toddler meals, including scrambled eggs, soft vegetables, or shredded meats. Limit to 1 teaspoon (5 mL) per meal to keep sodium low. Always mix well into the dish rather than serving it straight. For balanced nutrition, include a source of protein, healthy fats, and vitamin-rich veggies or fruits alongside. Introduce alongside familiar flavors to support adventurous eating, but avoid using as a main flavor to encourage acceptance of a wide range of foods.

How to Serve Coconut aminos to a 18+ Months Old
Serving Instructions
For older toddlers, coconut aminos can be offered alongside a wider variety of foods. Drizzle up to 1.5 teaspoons (7.5 mL) over cooked grains, vegetables, noodles, or use as a light dip for bite-sized finger foods, always under supervision. It’s important to continue limiting sodium, so use sparingly and taste before serving. Serve as part of balanced meals that offer protein, whole grains, a variety of colorful vegetables or fruits, and healthy fats, to ensure diverse nutrition.

When to Talk to Your Pediatrician
Every child is different, and your pediatrician knows your baby best. If your baby has known allergies, was born prematurely, or has any feeding difficulties, consult your doctor before introducing new foods. If you ever observe signs of an allergic reaction — such as hives, swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing — seek emergency medical care immediately.
Important Safety Disclaimer
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:
- Choking & Preparation: All foods can pose a choking hazard. You are strictly responsible for modifying food sizes and textures to match your child's skills. Always physically inspect this food for hidden hazards (e.g., bones, pits, seeds, splinters, or tough skins) before serving.
- Food Handling: Ensure all ingredients are properly washed, stored, and cooked to safe internal temperatures to prevent foodborne illness. Never serve raw or undercooked meat, poultry, seafood, or eggs to an infant.
- Allergens: Introduce any new food one at a time. Observe your child closely for signs of an allergic reaction (hives, swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing) and seek emergency medical care immediately if symptoms occur.
- Strict Supervision: 100% active, arm's-length adult supervision is required at all times while your child is eating or interacting with food.
