Mackenzie goes on and off meat. At 12 months she had tried pretty much all meat. She also love chomping on a chicken drum stick but make sure you take out that long skinny bone that runs down the leg first. Depending on how many teeth your little one has you may be able to just chop it up really small and feed it with mashed veggies. Miss M will sometimes eat it on it's own in a bowl while I'm preparing dinner for her but at the moment we are off veggies and meat unless I mix it with baked beans in Ham sauce (absolutly disgusting for a vegie like me!).
