Chicken, leek and lentils is a simple, yet tasty puree for the babies.  Carrot and parnsip puree was a favourite when George started solids so with the addition of leeks for flavour,  chicken for protein and lentils for texture it was still a winning combination.

Nutrition Note:  Kids love chicken making it a favourite first food.  It’s rich in many important nutrients needed for growth and development and low in natural chemicals that can trigger symptoms of food intolerance.
