Baby Finger Food - Baby Meatballs

This one is really easy and kids will love it. You can also sub baby cereal (mixed with half water/half formula) for the mashed potatoes. Serve with a little tomato sauce and soft, cooked pasta. It is recommended for babies that are 8 months and older, but they also advise speaking to your pediatrician before starting your baby on solids. Also, remember to follow the RULE OF FOUR (wait 4 days after introducing new foods) and make sure your baby has had no allergic reactions to any of the foods in this recipe before serving it!
