Is bone broth good for babies—or overhyped?
⚡ Short answer: Bone broth is a nourishing addition but not a miracle—the real nutrition is the vegetables, protein, and grains in the broth; homemade unsalted broth 1-2 times weekly is enough.

They say I should make all broths with bone broth. Is bone broth really that nutritious?

Bone broth does provide nutrition—the amino acids, collagen, and minerals support digestion and gut health. Using it in baby's soups is a nice flavor and nutritional boost, but it's not a miracle cure. What matters most is the vegetables, protein (ground meat, chicken, lentils), and grains you add to the broth. Bone broth is a great addition but not essential—broths made with meat, vegetable, or plain stock work fine too.
Using bone broth 1-2 times weekly is plenty; you don't need it every day. Also watch store-bought bone broths—they often have salt and additives. Prefer homemade, unsalted, with fat skimmed off.
Once your baby is 6+ months and eating solids, you can safely add to soups. ☺️
