Can my 1-yr-old eat polenta?

I want to share my dinner with him tonight--polenta (sliced & sauteed in olive oil) topped with veggies. He hasn't had corn yet, so I'm not sure whether I should give him polenta. But I can't see any reason not to--no food allergies in my family. What do you think?

  • How sad that I didn't even know what polenta was, lol.

    I think you could give it to him. A lot of pedis say to wait to give things like that until a year old, so I think if he's at the one year mark, and you feel comfortable with it, do it.

  • I didn't think corn was on the list of no-no's? Peanut has had for a looonngg time, so I think polenta is more than OK. Past the age of 1, most of the list of "bad" foods are OK to start trying anyway, barring any previous allergic reactions, I think.

  • Don't see why not.  He'll probably LOVE it.
