If you are not sure what is safe for babies to eat for Thanksgiving, we are here to help you add some safe and great baby food to the Thanksgiving menu. Read below!
It is no secret, preparing a Thanksgiving dinner for the extended family is no easy task. This task gets harder when you have to think about what babies and little children can safely eat. A rule of thumb to remember when thinking of a safe menu for babies is that babies closing in on their first birthdays, transitioning to table foods, can be served at least a few typical Thanksgiving dishes.
Diced is a must.
When feeding babies, make sure all the foods you offer them are diced very small. The average diced food should be 1/4 inch in size.
Make sure everything is cooked well done.
When we say cook everything until it is well done for the babies, that means it should be soft enough for the babies to gum. Some great foods for babies to gobble on are as followed:
-Turkey
-Ham
-Mashed Potatoes
-Sweet Potatoes
-String Beans
-Peas
-Carrots
-Cranberry Sauce
-Bread
-Apple Pie
-Pumpkins
