It may come as a surprise that beef is an immune-supporting food, but between the high-quality protein, zinc, and other nutrients that this food contains, it is a dynamite addition to a toddler's diet to help keep their immune system in-check.
In addition to the immune benefits, toddlers benefit from eating the iron-rich option of beef, as their iron intake may decrease if they transition from breast milk to other foods around this time.
While some cuts of meat may be too tough for your little one to chew, softer options like ground sirloin or stew meats are perfect for little teeth.
