Dear XXXXXXX,
Thanks for your query.
Yes, you can give dry fruits provided nobody in the family has any allergy towards such foods as some allergic conditions do run in families.
If anyone has allergy in the family, it is safe not to give dry fruits for 2 years from birth.
Such foods can be fed to the baby in powdered form made into a dilute porridge.More dilute the porridge is more easy it is to digest.
Hope I answered your query.
Please do let me know if there are any other concerns.
Regards,
Dr Arun
