Goed om te weten
Tofu is a common allergen; introduce it in small, isolated amounts to watch for reactions. Because it can be chewy, ensure it is rehydrated and cooked until very soft to minimize choking hazards.

Soak the dried skin in warm water or broth for at least 30 minutes before cooking to ensure the texture is safe and palatable for baby.
