Default What doth a sprouting potato make?

Hi all,

"Everybody knows" that sprouting potatoes are poisonous. But what degree is
"sprouting"? I have one here, a large blue truffle potato, from each eye of
which was growing a 1/2 cm long cluster of sprouts. I scraped them off and
dug out the first few mm of flesh under them, and the potato under there
looks fine. Is this safe to cook with, specifically boiling and cubing it
for use in a leftover-lamb-roast pie? Is it only safe for adult-type humans?
I'm breastfeeding a six-month-old; does that make any difference, or are we
talking a strictly safe potato here?

Thanks,
Katrina
