Chicken Broth

From 6 months★★★★★
Processed

Chicken broth is a gentle way to introduce savory flavors to your baby once they reach 6 months of age. It works beautifully as a liquid base for thinning purees or softening solid foods.

How to serve

6-9 months

Use as a liquid to thin out vegetable mashes or smooth purees.

9-12 months

Incorporate into stews or cook grains like rice or quinoa in the broth for extra flavor.

12+ months

Serve as a warm base for soups with cooked vegetables and shredded meat.

Nutrition

High-quality, homemade chicken broth provides hydration and trace minerals that support overall health. While it is not a primary source of protein, it adds flavor to nutritious vegetables and grains. Opt for low-sodium or unsalted versions to keep your baby's sodium intake within safe limits.

Good to know

Avoid store-bought broths with high sodium, MSG, or artificial preservatives. Always check the ingredient label carefully to ensure no hidden allergens are present.
