Bone Broth for Babies: A Parent's Guide
Squeezby's bone broth is made from quality bones simmered for hours to extract collagen, minerals and natural goodness. This guide covers when to start, how to warm and serve it, and what to know about each flavour.
Made slowly, made without salt
Our bone broths are slow-cooked for 12+ hours. We add no salt, no sugar and no preservatives. Salt is left out on purpose: babies' kidneys are still developing and they do not need extra sodium in their diet. The meat and bones we use are certified Halal.
When can babies start bone broth?
From around 6 months, once your baby is ready for solids. Begin with 1 to 2 teaspoons and build up gradually as your baby grows. Always follow your baby's hunger and fullness cues. Breastmilk or formula is still an important part of the diet at this stage.

How to store it

Introducing fish
Fish is a common allergen. Offer a small amount on its own first, and wait a few days before trying another new food. If your baby has a known allergy or eczema, check with your doctor before introducing fish.
