This food can be a choking hazard for babies. Prepare it in an age-appropriate size and texture, and always supervise your baby while eating.

Always cook mushrooms for babies - raw mushrooms are hard to digest. Clean but don't soak - they absorb water.

Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp cloth rather than washing. Cooking brings out their umami flavor.
