This was George’s first try at beef and he laughed at us. Not so much at the food but at the way we said “BEEF” like he was a little tough guy.  It was very cute.  He enjoyed his dinner and I’ve since made another batch of this puree.  Definitely one of his favourites so far.  That, or he just loves hearing us say “BEEF” is for dinner!

Nutrition Note:  The iron a baby inherits from their mother becomes depleted by around 6 months of age so including iron rich foods, such as beef, is essential from 6 months of age.
