Corn: How to Offer Corn Safely to Your Baby

12 minutes

#107: Can babies eat corn? Is corn good for babies? How do I safely offer corn for my baby? In this episode we’re talking all things corn for baby-led weaning: why corn kernels are a choking hazard early on in BLW, when it’s safe to offer your baby corn on the cob, how to use cornmeal for self-feeding and how to adapt a recipe for cornbread to make it ok for your baby to eat.

Listen to this episode to learn:

Corn kernels - why babies should not be fed small individual corn kernels early on in feeding; but how you can adapt corn into a BLW recipe that babies can safely self-feed

Corn on the cob - why we don’t offer baby corn on the cob until there is at least 1 tooth to help maximize independence in self-feeding

Cornmeal - how homemade polenta is one of the easiest baby foods you’ll ever make and how to adapt a cornbread recipe to make it safe for BLW
