Chicken & Tofu Cutlets (16 months - 24 months)

Chicken and tofu cutlets are great sources of protein, iron, and calcium for your 23-month-old. Chicken provides important B vitamins for brain health and iron for healthy blood, while calcium-fortified tofu supports bone development and also offers protein.
