Quite concerning and not something that I would feel comfortable with

Don’t think this is a good idea. Babies can’t digest this food well.

I would never do that to my kids….

Interesting read

This is not something I’d do but I wouldn’t eat it rare myself. Looks like she’s researched giving her child rare steak and spoken with the paediatrician so she’s done all the right things. It’s the way she eats the steak herself anyway.

While I would never do this with my son, I can’t judge what others are doing with their kids, and its not my place to! She has spoken to a pediatrician prior to doing it, so she has made an informed decision

Well… is the child sick or dead? What do people think people ate back in the day? Pretty sure they didn’t give their babies powder as their only sustenance for months on end.

Meat is very hard to digest so not sure how a baby’s digestive system would handle it.

We just dont know the full facts to this one. She consulted a paediatrician who has okayed it. but was it explained that the meat would be not well done?
Wouldnt be my first choice, but then I’m raising vegetarians anyway!

I don’t think I ever gave my kids steak like this. They are now vegetarians so this would revolt them.

No I didn’t, in fact it wasn’t even something that I considered. But this Mum has discussed it with her paediatrician and taken on the advice that matters.

I am afraid she is wrong feeding the baby meat that isn’t cooked if it looks like that, it makes me feel sick looking at it and she is wrong.

Reading the article, it says she spoke to her Pediatrition and did her research so I assume she wouldn’t have done if all the answers came back as ‘no don’t do it’.
My kids didn’t eat rare/medium rare till they were 3ish.

I prefer my meat to be dead! That’s still mooing. It really isn’t about her being happy to eat it, it’s about her baby’s health and safety. I only hope the baby doesn’t get sick from eating that! My kids love chocolate, I love chocolate, but it doesn’t mean I’m going to give it to them all the time! And I’d be slightly concerned about the paediatrician thinking raw meat is alright.

It’s her baby not mine. If she has spoken to her paediatrician and they okayed it then so he it. Who are we to judge. I’m sure we all feed our kids something that someone else would question. If he baby is healthy, likes it and does not get sick then clearly it isn’t risky. In saying that, I would not feed rare steak to my kids until they are old enough to ask for it that way.

I would never feed my baby undercooked meat! Even pieces of steak are dangerous even if doing BLW – since hearing of a baby choking on a piece of steak I’ve always cut mine into pieces until the kids have enough teeth to chew it up themselves.

I remember my grandson chewing on red meat for his 1st Xmas, he was 9 months old tho. I know he loved it. How much would a 5 month old actually manage to swallow anyway? I can’t see too many issues, beefbis meant to be cooked to taste. It’s chicken that needs to be cooked through

I personally would have cooked it a little more, but good on mum for introducing a wide variety of food into their child’s diet. If she has researched her choices and feels comfortable, good on her.

Personally I wouldn’t have given it to my babies but I’m sure some do.

This has never crossed my mind that you couldn’t do rare meat wow haha
