Babies need more protein than adults because they’re growing so fast. This is especially true in first few years of your babies life. Most of the time I cook with skinless, boneless chicken breasts, but last week I found organic/free range chicken thighs that looked delicious. The thigh is higher in fat then the breast, which is a good thing for babies and it also has more iron and twice as much zinc.
The first time I gave it to Kenya he kind of turned up his nose. I couldn’t figure it out since he loves carrots and corn. After try number two, I added a little hot water to thin it out and presto, he loved it. Always take into consideration the texture of babies food. Sometimes a creamy texture is all it takes.
