If chicken is not properly prepared and served in a safe texture to baby, it can pose as a choking risk. In particular, chunks of firm chicken can be difficult for baby to chew and break down, increasing the risk of it becoming lodged in their throat. To safely prepare chicken, ensure that the meat is moist, and in small enough pieces for baby to safely manage and swallow. For example, firm cubes of cooked chicken can be chopped down into smaller pieces and mixed with a sauce or mash (like mashed avocado) so that it can be safely chewed and swallowed by your little one.
