MEATS?

trp77

When is everyone starting meats such as turkey?  We are just starting sitter foods and want to try meats... I read in a book you shouldnt start till 7 months!  Whats you opinions?

We got the green light for meats this afternoon at T's 6 month visit...I've got a VERY old dr and is very old school....which is why I picked him. We love him and couldn't be happier. We will start meats this weekend probably!

I don't know if he'll ever get meat out of a can. It just looks nasty. lol

I baked LO some chicken the other day and pureed it. It was not bad actually. LO seemed to like the taste, but the texture was very new to her.

We won't be talking about it with the pedi until 9 months.  Because DD was a preemie we didn't start solids until 6 months.  We're still doing single fruits and veggies here.

We started about 2 weeks ago with blends. Like sweet potatoes and turkey. The texture of the meat alone is very strange and the flavor is AWFUL. I would start with blending it with a food you baby likes first.

That's a good question...I'm barely going to start solids and I will be starting with veggies then fruits, who knows when I will start meats

Pedi told us at the check up to start at 7 months. She started solids at 4 so I was a little surprised.

My pedi is a little modern, maybe?  He said I could give it to her now.  There was no restrictions on what I could give her from the beginning.  She's only had veggies so far, but I will probably give her some meat after we finish fruits.

Def no to that here as well. Homemade all the way, but I do that for the other foods too. I'm going to weep when the purees are over. I'm getting so good at being a baby food chef.
