No nuts at all... and no berries of any kind at all. Not until he/she is at least 3 years of age.

No nuts of any kind, including looking at ingredients of cereals, breads and any foods he may ingest for first 3 years is recommended.
I have no peanut allergies on either side of my family going back 3 generations so I did allow my 4 children to try peanut butter around 18 months. I was lucky that they had no problems but would not suggest it for anyone to try.

I would be afraid that anything that small would be a choking hazard. But for the allergy issue, my understanding is that all tree nuts should be avoided if allergies are a concern. Pistachios grow on trees.

Try to avoid all nuts for awhile longer. Due to the chance of choking and in case of an allergic reaction. I would not begin this without consulting
you pediatrician.

at 15 months old FORGET IT the child hasn't got all the teeth yet and has a chance of choking on the pistachios

He probably shouldnt especially if his teeth have'nt come in..It's not really that the nuts are bad it's just that they can become a choking hazard for some children and even sometimes adults

No as infants and children can be allergic to peanuts. (I should've mentioned the choking hazard as well :) I'm not sure if something that crunchy is safe either. Please do consult with your baby's pediatrician and take good care.

Nothing small like a nut, they can choke on them.

Yes. Give him a lot of them, then leave the room.
