Baby-Friendly Thanksgiving
November 22, 2012You do not necessarily have to go out of your way to make food for the little ones . If you are feeding children close to one year or older you can most likely serve them a couple of items from your typical Thanksgiving menu, or alter the recipe just a little to suit the children’s needs.
- turkey
- ham
- mashed potatoes
- sweet potatoes
- string beans
- peas
- carrots
- cranberry sauce
- bread or rolls
- pumpkin pie
- apple pie
Here are some foods that are not suitable for babies:
- corn and succotash
- rich-tasting casseroles (such as string-bean or broccoli-cheese)
- creamed onions
- stuffing (which can contain onions, rich seasoning, choking hazards, or seafood)
- raw veggies from a crudités or relish tray
- desserts with nuts or peanut butter
