Yes, it is safe to give dried fruits in ground form to an 18-month-old baby. Almonds, cashews, apricots, and chia seeds are rich in healthy fats, protein, and nutrients. Dates provide natural sweetness and are good for digestion. Always grind them finely to avoid choking. You can mix 1-2 teaspoons of the ground mixture with porridge, milk, or curd. Give it 3-4 times a week for variety and balanced nutrition. Avoid adding salt or sugar to the mixture. Ensure the baby is not allergic to any dried fruits before regular feeding. Keep the portion small to avoid digestion issues. Offer water with dried fruits to prevent constipation. Store the ground mix in an airtight container and use it within a week for freshness.
