An innocent video of a baby trying a piece of steak has caused quite the stir on TikTok because people have strong feelings on beef, diets and childcare.
Katie Harley, a 23-year-old substitute teacher and mother of six-month-old Eliza, recorded a video of her daughter sampling her first steak filet, and shared the moment to TikTok for her friends and family to see.
Harley didn’t expect the clip to go viral with some commenters accusing her of feeding Eliza a “bloody” steak all because they didn’t like the pink tone inside the filet, she told Fox News Digital, in a phone interview.

Unbeknownst to commenters, Harley served steak to Eliza after her daughter’s pediatrician recommended it for a baby’s growth and development, Harley said.
9 SURPRISING FIRST FOODS YOU SHOULD FEED YOUR BABY
Harley, who is a first-time mom, said her pediatrician made the unusual food recommendation after he learned that she wanted to feed Eliza “real food” as soon as possible instead of baby food.
“At our appointment, we went over what foods we’re going to start introducing,” Harley told Fox News Digital. “He wanted us to introduce things like peanut butter because it’s an allergen, he wanted us to do steak because it’s very nutrient-rich and lean, and we also introduced her to a bunch of fruits and veggies. There was a whole list.”
Harley said the pediatrician’s list of recommended foods advised parents to cook steak filets until its internal temperature reaches 145 °F, which is the minimum temperature the USDA approves of for preventing foodborne illnesses from steak.
She went on to add that her husband grilled the steak for Eliza and the rest of their family at their home in North Augusta, South Carolina.
