White Meat Your Baby Can Safely Eat

#178: What is white meat and is it safe for babies to eat? In this episode we are exploring various types of white meat: poultry and fish, including ideal cuts and preparation methods of each that are safest for baby-led weaning. Listen to this episode to learn:  How red meat and white meat differ because of the amount of myoglobin, a protein in blood that carries oxygen to the cells of the body White meats include poultry and fish, and a few tips about selecting each for BLW: Poultry:  Dark meat from chicken and turkey wings, legs and thighs has more fat which equates to more moisture and helps reduce choking risk Whie meat from chicken and turkey breast is lean and lacks fat, which lends to a more dry outcome and this can increase choking risk Fish: Fatty fish: salmon, mackerel, anchovy, tuna, herring among others have higher fat content (ideal for babies) and essential omega-3 fatty acids Flaky white fish: cod, tilapia, pollock, grouper, halibut - these are more lean and lack fat but you can add oil or butter to make easier for baby to safely swallow Shownotes for this episode can be found here: https://www.babyledweaning.co/podcast/178 Links from This Episode: Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro program with the 100 First Foods™ Daily Meal Plan, join here: https://babyledweaning.co/program   Baby-Led Weaning for Beginners free online workshop with 100 First Foods™ list to all attendees, register here: https://babyledweaning.co/baby-led-weaning-for-beginners Other Episodes Related to This Topic:  Episode 31: Fish: How to Introduce Your Baby to this Potentially Allergenic Food 🌱 🌱🌱🌱 🌱 Not sure about which foods to offer your baby next?
