How to Make Chicken Baby Food

Buying jars of baby food can quickly become expensive. Parents can save money by making their own baby food at home. Making your own baby food also ensures that your baby is getting the freshest food possible. Once your baby has mastered vegetables and fruits, you can begin introducing meats. Chicken is an excellent meat to start with. You can even use leftover chicken from your family dinner to create a few jars of homemade baby food.

  • 1 cup cooked chicken
  • Measuring cup
  • 1/4 cup water

  • 4-oz. jars
