Is a pork chop too salty to give a 6 mth old baby to gum at?

[scarletforya]

Or would it be too salty? It's a Lion pork chop, the label says 0.6g salt per chop.

I gave her plain chicken to gum yesterday and she liked it.

*loin, I am definitely not feeding my child any zoo animals!

it depends on whether you've put salt on it.

if you've just cooked it in a frying pan and not added anything, then it's perfectly fine.

No I am definitely not going to add salt. I was going to put it in foil and roast it....just had a wobble that pork is a salty meat! Thank you

I think it's just natural salt- like in sweat, iyswim. :)

Probably.

Only if you e salted it.

IMHO pork is a very FAT meat indeed I would never give a child esp. a baby pork esp. fried it's also very difficult to digest.

Fat is good for babies, without fat they become malnourished.

its a good idea I'm sure it will be really tasty

Pork chop will be fine, it's cured meat like ham bacon and gammon that's salty.

It's fine, I always looked at salt content over a period of say, 3 days, rather than 1 day. It's easier to level out perhaps some overly salty foods with other ones.

Ah I see re the cured meat orange thanks!

I'll probably trim off the fat just in case it becomes stringy (choking hazard?!) and let her gum at the meat sort of thing. I have it cooked now, I'm just going to let it cool a bit!

I didn't fry it ppeat I just put it in foil and popped it in the oven!

ha! she likes it! She's chewing her rubber bib too though!

It gives DH gout and he's much older than 6months!! I can't digest it at all

I don't eat it much myself I must admit! I think she liked the chicken better. Not much going in, it's a pork popsicle, she's just using it as a teething toy really!

It gives your husband gout BECAUSE he's much older than six months, ppeatfruit.
