Peanut Butter Puffs for Safely Introducing Peanuts to Babies: A Conversation with @puffworks founder Greg Murphy

#136: Early introduction of peanut protein can help reduce the risk of peanut allergy, but how do you safely introduce peanut when thick globs of peanut butter can be a choking hazard for babies?

In this episode, I’m joined by Greg Murphy, founder and President of Puffworks and a food allergy dad. Greg shares how Puffworks Baby peanut puffs became a simple, food-first option for introducing peanut protein to babies.

We’re talking about why early and ongoing peanut exposure matters, how peanut puffs fit into baby-led weaning, and why Greg prefers real food over powders and supplements for introducing allergenic foods. We also go behind the scenes of Puffworks and the process of creating a puff that’s appropriately sized and dissolvable for babies starting solid foods.

1. Why a food-first approach can make introducing peanut protein to your baby easier and more sustainable

2. How Puffworks Baby peanut puffs differ from traditional baby puffs in their ingredients, size and dissolvability

3. What parents can do to safely introduce peanut early and often when starting solid foods
