With breads like muffins, dinner rolls, challah, brioche buns, etc. the main thing that you want to be concerned with is how “gummy” the texture is. Bread is not safe when it is soft enough to gum up and form a ball in your baby’s mouth, as mentioned above. This is because the ball can be difficult for them to maneuver, can become stuck to the roof or sides of their mouth, and can easily block their airway. So if the bread or pastry is soft, and the options listed above typically are, they are better to offer after around 18 months of age when your baby has more practice chewing difficult textures.  Alternatively, you can offer your baby one or two very small, bite-sized pieces at a time, ensuring they chew and swallow what’s in their mouth before offering more.
