Helpful Tips for Parents

Always remember that much of the chicken fat is located under the skin, so chicken is best skinned before cooking. Adjust the texture of the chicken (from a smooth purée to finely minced bits) based on your baby's current weaning stage. Ensure the meal is cooled down to a safe, warm temperature before serving it to your little one.
