Chicken with Carrots and Corn

January 29, 2014 by 1 Comment

Babies need more protein than adults because they’re growing so fast. This is especially true in the first few years of your baby’s life. Most of the time, I cook with organic skinless, boneless chicken breasts, but the thigh is higher in fat than the breast, which is a good thing for babies and it also has more iron and twice as much zinc.

Good for ages 6 months and up

  1. Place the chicken in a steamer pot over boiling water and cook for 3 minutes.
  2. Add the carrots and corn and steam for an additional 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are soft.

    This statement could not be farther from the truth. A baby requires less grams of protein per day. This is based off of grams per kg body weight. Excessive protein intake in infants/toddlers can lead to kidney failure and obesity.
