Yesterday Brooke had her first taste of tofu. While her parents dont eat it, we dont eat half of the stuff she eats ... so its not all that different than anything else ;)
I have been a bit leery of giving Brooke meat, but yet she needs to start adding protein in her diet. In addition to being a good source of protein, tofu is also a great source of iron and calcium. There is another reason I though tofu would be a smart addition to Brooke's menu - it makes a great finger food. She is getting better with her hands but still lacks some coordination. This makes is unwise to give her the real messy stuff quite yet :)
Wholesomebabyfood.com has a lot of information on tofu for babies, including recipes! They suggest some delicious tofu combinations as well.
Blend or cube tofu with:
applesauce and squash
avocado and pears
blueberries and bananas
sweet potato and carrots
broccoli and parsnips
