Whether it’s turkey, stuffing, gravy or other traditional Christmas foods, I want you to feel prepared and know exactly how to build your baby’s plate during your holiday dinner. 

Luckily, there are MANY staple holiday foods that you’ll likely see at your dinner that are totally safe and easily modifiable for your baby to enjoy.
