Instructions:

  1. Begin by washing your hands and ensuring the preparation area is clean.
  2. Place the whole grain pita on a clean cutting board.
  3. Using a knife, carefully cut the pita into long, bite-sized strips suitable for your baby's grasp.
  4. Take a small amount (around 1-2 tablespoons) of smooth peanut butter and spread a thin layer onto each pita strip. Make sure the peanut butter layer is not too thick to avoid choking hazards.
  5. Arrange the peanut butter-covered pita strips on a baby-friendly plate or tray.
  6. Serve the peanut butter pita dippers under supervision to ensure your baby safely handles the food.

Summary:
This recipe is good for a baby practicing baby-led weaning as it encourages self-feeding and helps develop fine motor skills. The whole grain pita provides fiber, while peanut butter offers protein and healthy fats essential for growth.

Storing Options:
If there are leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Make sure to bring the pita strips back to room temperature before serving.

Possible Side Effects/Allergies:
Peanut butter is a common allergen. It is essential to introduce it slowly and monitor your baby for any signs of an allergic reaction such as hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing. Consult your pediatrician if you have concerns about introducing peanut butter to your baby.
