At what age can a chicken be given to a child? Chicken soufflé and other dishes in the diet

Chicken dishes often appear on the table of our compatriots, so each young mother is interested in how old you can start giving your child a chicken. Let's look at whether the chicken is useful for children of the first year of life, as well as what to cook from such a bird for the children's menu.

• Chicken is a source of proteins, in which there are all amino acids important for the development of children.
• Since the chicken is low in fat, such meat is classified as dietary products.
• The child will receive iron, cobalt, phosphorus, zinc and many other trace elements as well as vitamins from chicken meat.
• Since the structure of chicken dishes is more dense, the baby will learn to chew more actively.

• The proteins in chicken meat are allergic to some babies. Its symptoms are often represented by a rash, pruritus, swelling.
• With excessive consumption of chicken increases the load on the kidneys and digestive tract of the baby.

The introduction of chicken into the diet of children begins from 8 months in the form of meat puree after becoming acquainted with less allergenic types of meat (rabbit, turkey). Low-fat part of the bird is boiled until cooked, and then crushed with a blender.

The first portion of such mashed potatoes should be half a teaspoon. With normal tolerance, the amount gradually increases.

A month after becoming acquainted with boiled chicken, the child can begin to give chicken broth, adding it in the amount of 30-50 ml to vegetable puree or vegetable and cereal soups. For the first time, only 1-2 spoons of broth are added to the vegetable dish, checking the body's reaction. If there are no signs of allergies or other problems, the amount of broth is slowly increased.

For a child in 1 year it is permissible to cook chicken soup in broth. Also, children older than a year begin to give dishes of minced chicken (cooked at home), which are boiled or baked in the oven. Fried chicken should not be offered to children of at least 3 years of age.
