Corn Flour and Cornbread
6 months and up
⚡ Quick answer
Corn flour and cornbread can be given from 6 months at a soft consistency; they are gluten-free but should be prepared without salt or sugar.
How to serve it by age?
Cook the corn flour with water or milk to a porridge consistency; or give the inside of soft cornbread dipped in milk.
Give soft cornbread as a finger food; blend the corn porridge with vegetables.
You can serve unsalted cornbread or corn porridge from the family table.
🫁 Choking risk and safe serving
Corn flour and soft cornbread are safe; however, whole corn kernels (boiled corn) pose a choking risk, so before 12 months mash the kernels or remove their skins.
📌 Watch out for these
- It is gluten-free; it is safe in celiac disease.
- Do not add salt or sugar until 1 year of age; store-bought cornbreads can be salty.
- Whole corn kernels pose a choking risk; serve them mashed or with the skins removed.
