Potentially silly question but is corn a choking hazard for an 8month old?
Luka says:
not silly at all! yes loose kernels can be a choking hazard so we would recommend over 12 months for loose kernels x
Julia says:
Can I swap the two flours in this recipe for regular wheat flour? x
Nicole says:
Is there a replacement for Tapioca Flour? Often don't have in the pantry!
Nicole says:
Also, can frozen spinach be used?! Thanks!
Luka says:
yes it should work fine :)
Luka says:
you could sub both flours for 1/2 cup spelt flour or plain flour if gluten is tolerated :) but for the coconut flour to not be too dense, it needs the tapioca with it x
Luka says:
yes but would need blitzing first and then add the other ingredients to the blitzed spinach in the food processor :) so it doesnt stay in huge cubes!
Kate says:
If my 10 month old baby is working through the 'egg ladder' starting with egg baked in muffins. What would be an age appropriate serving size? Is a whole muffin from this recipe too much? (My baby has had egg cooked into muffins before and tolerated this well, but the recipe I made had only two eggs).
Kate - Boob to Food says:
This would be something you would need to check with your specialist sorry. The egg introduction ladder is quite specific, but they would know best what your little one is able to tolerate :)
Kate says:
No worries, thank you :)
