Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro 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
