As your precious bundle grows up, there are some foods that you should definitely be very careful about feeding. In fact, these are the 10 most dangerous foods for babies that you should be avoiding right now.
1. Raw Carrots
Raw carrots and other raw vegetables can be difficult for your baby to process. They can also be a big chocking hazard, so better keep them off the menu until your little one is at about 2 years old.
2. Marshmallows
Soft foods like marshmallows (or gummy candies) are definitely not good for your little one. They can be a potential chocking hazard, not to mention being too filled with sugar.
3. Nuts & Seeds
Peanuts in particular are on the no-no list for this category. They can get lodged in your baby’s throat and become a chocking hazard, too. Even nuts can get stuck in the airway and cause infection.
4. Popcorn
Although it’s a great healthy snack for adults, popcorn can be very dangerous for the little ones. The sharp edges and kernel flakes can cause gagging, so keep away until they’re about 4 years old.
5. Hard Candies & Gum
These are a HUGE chocking hazard, so stay far away! Any kind of hard candy has the potential to get stuck in your little one’s throat. The same goes for any kind of gum.
6. Fish
Fish is one food that I was always afraid to feed my kids when they were babies. Many types of fish contain high levels of mercury, which can be harmful to your baby’s growing body.
7. Caffeinated Drinks
Even though most people wouldn’t agree with me, we don’t actually need caffeine. It doesn’t provide us with any vitamins or nutrients and it’s not required to maintain a healthy lifestyle. If you give your baby caffeine, you should expect for them to have some side effects. It can easily upset your baby’s stomach or cause nausea. Giving your baby caffeine may make them fussy, restless and unable to sleep.
8. Honey
Most of us know that there are many benefits of honey. It provides us with many essential vitamins and nutrients. It can help prevent allergies and help soothe a sore throat, but honey is one food you should avoid feeding to your baby, until they are at least one year old.
9. Foods That Are Choking Hazards
There are some many benefits of eating raw fruits and vegetables, but you should think twice before feeding them to your baby. Many raw vegetables are hard and babies are unable chew them up. Large pieces of fruits and meats are also a potential choking hazard for babies. It’s best to cut all large foods up into bite size pieces for your baby, especially if they are round because this increases their choking risk.
10. Sausages
Just as with hot dogs, the circumference of sausages can be a chocking hazard. We all know that you love your chorizo, but for now keep it away from the baby or cut into very thin strips.
