Can Babies Eat toast?

Toast is bread, which was browned by toasting, usually in a toaster. The exposure to a radiant heat not only does change the color of bread, but it alters its texture, transforming it into a firmer bread and altering also its flavor.

Toast is usually eaten with butter or margarine, sometimes with chees, cream cheese or even peanut butter. Sweet toppings like jam, marmalade or jelly, or even spreadable chocolate might also be used with toast. It is a popular breakfast food, but buttered toast is also used to accompany savory dishes, like soups and stews.

It is also necessary to toast the bread only lightly, because the browning process does not only generate carcinogens, but by making the toast firmer, it also transforms it into a choking hazard. Until the age of 12 months, parents should be careful in which sizes they give their babies toast, even if they are easy to make finger foods.
