15 month olds....

can they have chicken? Like boneless chicken? what all can they eat? And how much should I give her? can they have water?

Yea a 15 month old can eat anything you do. Babies can have water at 6 months. My 11 month old eats everything I do. Except candy and popcorn.

i dont see why not... i just know they can't have peanut butter or honey till they are two.

DS's pedi said once he hit 12 months he could have whatever I have, just to watch for allergic reactions when trying new things that are common allergens like nuts.

Yes to chicken.
Pretty much anything you eat besides obvious choking hazards. Hot dogs are a huge no no unless cut up the middle.
Give her little portions of the foods you eat
Lol yes they can have water.

My 15 month eats everything. and only drinks water and milk.

*until they are one...

Why?


OP, my kid started eating whatever he wanted around a year old. We eat A LOT of chicken at our house.

Quoting James' Mommy Anna [PSM]:" i dont see why not... i just know they can't have peanut butter or honey till they are two."

Peanut butter is recommended at age 2 if there's a history of peanut/nut allergy in the family or if the child already has a bad food allergy. Honey is fine after the first year since infant botulism is no longer an issue.


OP- Anything you would eat, she can eat.

Honey is only a big no no until the age of one and it's because it has bacteria in it. Nuts are a common allergens and it's recommended to wait until after the age of one because the allergy signs are more clear, and because giving them too early can cause an allergy. Least, that's what DS's pedi told me.
