As you know, meat can be present in a baby’s diet starting from 6-8 months.

You can’t deprive a little person of meat and fish products because animal protein is important for the development of a child’s body.

However, it is worth admitting that sausages and salami from the nearest supermarket have little in common with natural meat.

In this regard, it is not recommended to offer these products to a child under 3 years of age.

In the composition of semi-finished products you can find flavor enhancers, hot spices and seasonings. In addition, a large amount of salt and fat is added here.

In addition to the fact that such additives do not provide any benefits, their composition makes them seem much tastier than boiled chicken or beef, so when trying to feed your child healthy products, you may encounter fierce resistance.

All of the above does not mean that when a child reaches 3 years of age, you can hand him a stick of sausage - at this age, you should carefully study the label in order to choose high-quality sausage products for your child.

Finally, home-made sausages may be the solution.
