3) Chicken Rice Stew For Baby
Stews and soups are great for babies when they are made properly. In the beginning you will make the pieces of food small and soft so they are easy for baby to swallow and then over time you can begin to introduce larger items and textures to the stew.
1 cup cooked cubed chicken or turkey
1/4 cup cooked rice
1/4 cup cooked vegetables
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup breast milk or formula
Puree all ingredients together and then pour the mixture into ice cube trays to make food cubes. If you don’t want make food cubes or don’t have enough ice cube trays you can make food plops by taking a spoonful of the pureed stew and placing it on a baking sheet and then placing that into the freezer immediately. Once your portions are frozen take them out and place in a large resealable bag to use at a later date. Don’t forget to label and date the bag as well.
Bon Apetit!

Madly in Love with cooking!
rice pudding with mushed fruit is good for dessert
introduce broccolli, cauliflower, big pasta shells with bolognaise sauce and maybe varying types of mash like potato and cheese mash or butternut squash mash is good – generally if your baby is starting to feed themselves chunky food is great like chunky boiled carrotts and pasta tubes and chunky chicken pieces cooked in a light olive oil and garlic or herb marinade, spaghetti is fun or meat balls or steak strips
generally if you like it so will your baby
beats nuggetss and chips
