It absolutely is.
I fed it to my children when they were that small (they still eat it now and love it) and they turned out great.

You can also find more information supporting this via many other sites. It is healthy eating for any age!
Good Luck! :)

it matters if the kid already has teeth!! if he/she doesnt,dont
if he/she does,make sure that is very very very very well cooked. also mush it up!!
Hell no, you are asking for some serious health problems there.
I would avoid it. Most soy in the US and UK has been genetically modified, and is no longer considered a natural food-giving it to your child could cause him to develop food allergies to soy, wheat, and corn, as the soy has been modified with gene splices from these foods, as well as others.
What was mentioned above about genetically modified soy is essential - if you decide on feeding your baby tofu, follow certain preparation directions, but also be very careful where you shop for it. It would be best if you had a organic produce store near where you live, because they have all kinds of certifications that often include non-GMO.
