You gave a TWO AND A HALF MONTH OLD CHILD chicken??? this is so incredibly careless that I HAVE to call out this crazy misinformation on HN. DO not ever replicate this please, everyone else.

What's the risk exactly? Googling around mentions the choking risk and the correlation behind obesity and early life introduction of solid foods. But if a small amount of chicken is pre-chewed by the parent and given as a rare one-off under observation those risks seem to be mitigated. Based on your strong reaction though I'm guessing there's risks? Inability to digest the chicken perhaps? Just curious

it is extremely bad for the child's digestive system etc. not everything is a "life or death thing"
