Wild mushrooms and infants

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I picked a few pounds of nice white chanterelles yesterday and am planning on braising them with a rabbit and herbs for supper tomorrow.

Our 10 month old is on solid foods and though my wife and I eat wild mushrooms fairly regularly, we haven't offered Ambrose any at this point. Given that in this dish the meat and the mushrooms are cooked together, it seems that tomorrow he will try his first chanterelle.

As a precaution, I am thinking of giving him a little piece from my breakfast omelette, to watch for a reaction before he eats a whole meal of rabbit cooked alongside chanterelles.

I am being overly cautious? Adequately cautious? Reckless?? Seems reasonable to me, but I'm not an expert - I just love chanterelles (but my son more).

I would hold off on giving him any wild mushrooms. I've knew a man who was allergic to all mushrooms and had to go to the hospital after unknowingly eating a bite. The effect may be worse in an infant. He had a bad asthmatic reaction. I think it's best to wait on any food that is commonly known to cause allergic reactions.
