Just a quick question what age would you give

[yowlingmonster]

corn on the cob, was thinking ds could manage it now and he was certainly hankering after dh's at dinner (but dh wasnt having a bar of sharing as it's his favourite) ds is 13 months.

ive tried Jess (14.5 months) on it, but she doesnt like it!

Im sure as over 1yr it should be fine!

thanks that is great news, will pack him one in his lunch for creche tomorrow.

18mths because of the risk of choking

I just let them see me cutting the niblets off the cob with a knife into their bowl- alot easier to handle !

Risk of choking? - don't think this just 'goes' at 18 months. And sweetcorn kernels are much smaller than halved grapes (which we can give)

Sorry - don't mean to rudely contradict you fredly ....

I gave corn on cob at 9 months with no problems. When cooked really well I don't see how a baby could choke as kernels are quite plump and soft.

Do you mean sweetcorn pieces or actual corn on the cob?

Have given DD sweetcorn from about 7-8 months she loves it only thing is it comes out the way it goes in.

Would give her corn on the cob in her hand now as well. (she's 15 mo)

Ds3 was about 15 months when he became obsessed with corn on the cobs.

I spoke to the HV to check he could have it and she almost laughed out loud. Like I'd asked some ridiculous question

She said by that age they should be eating everything you eat.

I'd say 13 months is fine.

no worry handlemecarefully
