is it ok to give a small child rare steak

[nailpolish]

dd1 loves it

If you know the meat is very good quality then let her have it. How old is she?

ds1 was weaned on pulverised fillet steak

he won't eat it now though

My DS1 is 2.5. I like my meat very rare and DP like his well done. Of course I want my children to develop a taste for rare meat (far more civilised so always give DS1 rare tasters.

ok thanks

shes 4.5

we were out for a meal with another family and they were horrified when dh gave dd1 a bit of his steak

the blood was running on her chin!

I refuse to serve well done steak - it's a waste of meat - tehrefore both of mine have to eat rare steak. (dd has always preferred rare steak to any other kind of meat)
