Safety Information
How to Serve Pistachio Milk to a 6–9 Months Old
Serving Instructions
At this age, pistachio milk is best served in very small quantities, such as 30–60 ml (1–2 fl oz) diluted with water or mixed into porridge or purées. Keep in mind that pistachio milk should not replace breastmilk or formula as the main drink. Serve alongside iron-rich foods, like lentils or beef, and vitamin C sources (such as strawberries or bell peppers) to support iron absorption. Start with just a teaspoon for the first few exposures to watch for any allergic reactions, particularly if there is a family history of nut allergies. Always supervise your baby during feeding.

How to Serve Pistachio Milk to a 9–18 Months Old
Serving Instructions
Offer pistachio milk in small cups or straw cups, starting with 60–90 ml (2–3 fl oz) at a time, alongside balanced meals. Ensure pistachio milk is not the main beverage and do not exceed 120 ml (4 fl oz) per day, as overconsumption can reduce appetite for more nutritious foods. Combine with protein-rich foods and fruits or veggies high in vitamin C to help with iron absorption. Watch carefully for any signs of an allergic reaction, and encourage drinking from an open cup to support oral development.

How to Serve Pistachio Milk to a 18+ Months Old
Serving Instructions
Children 18 months and older can usually enjoy 90–120 ml (3–4 fl oz) of pistachio milk a few times per week with meals, but it should not become a staple replacement for dairy or formula. Continue to offer it alongside a variety of foods, including whole grains, proteins, and fruits or vegetables rich in vitamin C. As always, observe for any adverse reactions and ensure the pistachio milk is unsweetened and, if homemade, well strained.

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.
