SUMMARY of episode

In this episode, we’re talking about CORN and some easy ideas for offering corn safely to your baby, including:

• 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
