Allergen note
Wheat is a common allergen; introduce small amounts after other single-ingredient solids, watching closely for reactions like hives or digestive upset.
How to serve
For infants (6+ months), mix 1-2 tablespoons of cooked wheat flour into purees or cereals; for toddlers, use it in small, soft pancakes or muffins for a safe, finger-friendly option.
Preparation
Always cook wheat flour thoroughly to eliminate bacteria; for young infants, start with a very thin, smooth porridge and gradually increase texture as they develop chewing skills.
Texture and choking risk
Wheat flour is a low choking risk but can be a hazard if inhaled dry; always cook it into solid foods and supervise meals.
Starting ages are typical guidance for healthy, full-term babies who show signs of readiness. Your paediatrician may advise differently, especially where there is a family history of allergy.
Track first tastes and reactions
Log when your child first tries wheat flour, note any reaction and see it in the allergen tracker.
