POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. Yes, you can give mutton and chicken to your 18-month-old baby — in fact, they can be a good source of protein, iron, and other essential nutrients at this age. But here are some important points to keep in mind:
✅ How to Offer Mutton or Chicken: Well-cooked only – Ensure it's soft, tender, and fully cooked (no pink inside). No bones or small pieces – Always shred or mash it well to avoid choking. Avoid spicy or oily preparation – Cook it in a simple, mild way (like boiling, steaming, or lightly sautéing with turmeric and a pinch of salt). Start with small amounts – Introduce it gradually and observe for any allergic reaction or digestion issues. 🍗 Good options: Chicken soup with rice or mashed veggies Minced chicken or mutton cooked soft Boneless chicken pieces mashed with dal and rice
If your baby is eating other solids well and doesn’t have any digestion problems, introducing non-veg is absolutely fine.
