Baby Popcorn: Just because it's light and soft doesn't mean it's safe.
Many parents think that popcorn is too light and shouldn't be dangerous.
But the danger for babies is not just that it's hard, but that it's dry, brittle, irregularly shaped, and may even have hard corn husks attached to it.
Babies' chewing ability is not yet fully developed. Eating while running or laughing can cause food to get stuck in their throats or even into their airways.
Therefore, it's not recommended to feed popcorn to children under 4 years old.
Older children should sit properly, eat slowly, and be supervised by adults.
