Baby eating - Trick for portioning meat

For every new mom, it is a great deal when you have to organize your child's meals.

When you start introducing foods with one meal per day it is kind of fun and interesting.

As you go along you start combining and inventing new mixtures and ways to present your baby with the healthy and good combinations of quality foods.

The greatest challenge in my opinion is the MEAT.

There are several sorts of meat that your baby is going to try and eat in it's first year and a half of life and you have to be prepared for it. At first the portions will be no grater than 50 g of meat per meal. That is a third of a chicken breast for example. So what do you do?

You certainly don't want to slave in the kitchen every day for a third of a chicken breast. This is my suggestion, and like every other idea it's practical and easy.

First you have to buy quality meat. If you have your butcher make some inquires and reserve several of the good quality pieces of beef, veal and chicken. You don't want to buy one slice of file or one chicken breast. NO! Buy several good large pieces and prepare your knives for some cutting and chopping.

You can cut up one larger piece of meat in small cubes in half an our or so, no matter what is your level of expertise with the knife. 

Also, take a pair of scissors and cut several regular disposable fridge bags into four pieces each.

Prepare a container that you can put into freezer. 

Than you take a small portion of meat cubes you have cut before and put them into a piece of bag and make a little parcel. 

Take as many of those parcels that can fit into you chosen container and place them one next to the other. Once filled up you can put your container into the freezer and you are done. 

When ever your baby needs to eat a portion of good meat you can take out just one of those parcels and defrost it and cook it in no time, and have more quality time to play and enjoy your time with the little one.
