7 Simple Ways to Serve Meat to Your Baby – Serenity Kids

When it comes to baby food, meat might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But the benefits of meat for babies are real. From digestibility to nutritional density, meat baby food provides an ideal source of the nutrients needed for growth and development while also providing great flavor exposure.

Meat is also super versatile. With so many different ways to serve it, we promise your babe will never be bored.

Can Meat Be The Perfect First Food for Your Baby?

But you might be wondering, how early can we start? Can new eaters really have meat? Not only can babies have meat as a first food, but there are also several reasons why meat is the perfect first food! Meat is loaded with nutrients that support healthy growth, like fat, iron, vitamin B12, and zinc. Meat is also easy to digest and introduces a range of savory flavors to support the development of the palate during the important flavor window that shapes a baby’s diet taste preferences.

When to Introduce Meat to Your Baby?

Meat can be introduced to a baby whenever you choose to introduce solid foods, typically around six months of age. Meat can be introduced as a puree, as part of baby-led weaning, or our favorite - a combination of both! 

What Meats are Best for Babies?

All meats are great for babies, but as with all food, quality matters. Opt for grass-fed and pasture-raised meats, which come from humanely-treated animals. Well-sourced meat is higher in nutrition than its conventionally-raised counterparts. The meats in our pouches are all from ranchers who practice regenerative agriculture, so in addition to being healthier, they are also supporting the fight against climate change!

Some meats we love include:

  1. Beef: 

    Full of B vitamins, iron, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)

  2. Chicken: 

    Full of B vitamins and selenium

  3. Turkey: 

    Full of B vitamins, selenium, zinc, and phosphorus

  4. Bison: 

    Full of B vitamins, iron, selenium, zinc, and CLA

  5. Lamb: 

    Full of B12 selenium, iron, and zinc

  6. Pork: 

    Full of B vitamins, iron, phosphorus, and zinc

  7. Salmon: 

    Full of DHA for baby’s brain development!

  8. Liver: 

    Full of vitamin A, iron, and B vitamins

 

    Of course, meat is also a great source of healthy protein and fat!

    How to Cut Meat for a Baby?

    The risk of choking causes many parents to hesitate in serving meat. But it is actually quite easy to cut and prepare meat for a baby. Just cut strips of meat that are the size of two adult fingers. A big chunk of meat allows a baby to safely hold it while sucking and gnawing on it. It gives them the opportunity to taste the flavor and experience the texture without creating a choking risk.

    How to Store Baby Meat?

    Storing baby foods can make parents antsy, but storing meat for babies is generally just as simple as storing it for yourself. In general, cooked meat can be refrigerated for four days and frozen for two months.  We recommend storing in silicone cups or glass jars.

    We recommend that our pouches be refrigerated after opening and consumed within one day of opening.

    7 Simple Ways to Serve Meat to a Baby 

    Meat can be served to a baby in a variety of ways depending on the type of meat, the preferences of the baby, and the stage of the baby’s development. For example, newer eaters may prefer to eat meat served as a meat puree or softened in bone broth, whereas a more experienced eater may prefer to chew larger pieces of meat. Here are 7 simple ways to serve meat to a baby:

    1. Pureed (try thinning with breast milk to get your desired consistency!)
    2. Ground into crumbles
    3. Shredded
    4. On the bone
    5. Braised in bone broth
    6. In strips
    7. As meatballs

          *Overview of the best according to the editors of simplerule. ru. About selection criteria. This material is subjective, is not an advertisement and does not serve as a guide to the purchase. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

          Baby food is a source of energy that a growing baby needs. It contains useful substances for the development of the body and strengthening the immune system, and also ensures the transition of the child from breastfeeding to adult food. Our experts have studied the reviews and research of independent experts to prepare a rating of the best baby food manufacturers. nine0005

          Baby Food Selection Guide

          Quality nutrition is the key to your child's health. In order not to make a mistake with the choice, always pay attention to the composition. In addition to the main product (vegetables, meat, fruits), water, olive oil, cereals, probiotics and rice flour are allowed, which is added to obtain a homogeneous and thick consistency.

          Useful tips to help you make the right choice: nine0005

          1. Prohibited Ingredients . The composition of products should not include: GMOs, artificial flavors and dyes, preservatives, stabilizers, palm oil, flavor and aroma enhancers.

          2. Types of food. Baby food can be hypoallergenic, therapeutic or preventive. It is recommended to choose them after consultation with a pediatrician and on his recommendation.

            nine0014

          3. Packaging. Available in glass or plastic. Both formats are convenient, but soft pouches are easier to take with you (for example, while walking) and do not require the use of cutlery.

          4. Variety . If the baby’s menu up to 6 months is quite monotonous, then as he grows up, he needs more different nutrients: proteins, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and fats. nine0005

          5. And most importantly, always read the label of cereal, puree or other baby food . It always indicates the age from which the use of the product is allowed, the full composition, expiration date and storage conditions.
