Can a 9-month-old eat chicken?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Yes, 9-month-olds can eat chicken. At this age, babies are typically transitioning from purees to mashable pieces. Chicken is a good source of protein and iron. Cook chicken thoroughly (boiling or baking, no added salt or spices) and cut into very small, soft pieces or mash with a fork. Choose skinless, visible-fat-free portions. Start with a small amount (a teaspoon or two), watch for allergic signs (rash, fussiness), then mix with vegetable puree or serve as small finger-sized pieces. As long as it's cooked properly and in the right size, it's safe to add.
