My little one loves the prune purée teething “crackers” I posted about a month ago. So I used them as a base to start introducing allergies. I found a great way to make sure she consistently has peanut butter in her diet was to make a nut butter and jelly ( prune purée) bar.
Hope your little one enjoys it!
*Warning*: Peanut butter and other ingredients can be allergens. Be ready for any reactions, and if you have any concerns, speak to your healthcare provider first.
