Is it safe to feed pureed corn as in homemade baby food a 4 month old?

Corn is not recommended for babies under 1 year of age due to its high starch content and potential allergenicity. The starch in corn can be difficult for a baby's immature digestive system to break down, which can lead to digestive issues such as gas, bloating, and discomfort. Additionally, corn is one of the top food allergens for infants and young children, so introducing it too early can increase the risk of developing an allergy.

If you're planning to introduce corn to your baby's diet, it's best to wait until they are at least 8 to 10 months old, and start with small amounts. Look for cornmeal or corn starch that is specifically labeled for infants or talk to your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian for specific recommendations on introducing corn to your baby's diet.
