Rabbit
Usually introduced around 6 months
Prep warning
Remove the skin, all bones, and cartilage before serving.
Choking notes
Rabbit is very lean and turns tough and chewy if not cooked gently, which raises the choking risk. Slow-cook or braise until tender, and remove every bone and bit of cartilage.
