Complete guide on how to prepare and serve macadamia milk to your baby, by age.
Last reviewed: May 2026
Offer no more than 30 ml (1 oz) macadamia milk as part of a complementary meal—never as a replacement for breast milk or formula. Use only unsweetened, unflavored versions. Ensure the meal includes iron-rich foods, vegetables, and healthy fats to support growth. Introduce nuts and seeds one at a time to monitor for allergies.

Increase to up to 120 ml (4 oz) plant-based milk per day, only in addition to breast milk, formula, or other primary milks. Prefer unsweetened versions fortified with calcium and vitamin D if available. Always pair with iron- and protein-rich foods and a variety of textures.

Continue to limit plant-based milks to 120 ml (4 oz) daily, unless otherwise advised. Encourage drinking from an open cup and independent pouring. Choose unsweetened, fortified macadamia milks. Pair with protein, iron-rich foods, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables in main meals.
