meats at 7 months?

When did you introduce meats to dc?  I was thinking about trying it today.  I've seen info that says anywhere from 7-9 months.  Just curious what others did.

    We're waiting until she's old enough for finger foods and then we'll give her shredded meats. I can't stomach the idea of pureed meat. Yuck.

    We recently started pureed chicken. We did our own which was super easy.  I opened a jar of turkey and was completely disgusted by it.  There was no way I was going to give it to DS when I wouldn't want to eat it myself.

    I know, I always said I can't either. But I'm telling myself he doesn't know any different.  And we were given a few jars from friends, so what the heck.  Might as well.  And I'm starting to freak about iron.  The pedi has never said anything, but what can I say, I'm obsessive!  The tricky part is that I always try everything I give him - that one is going to be hard to do.

    I haven't yet.  I'll probably wait a few more weeks.  I did buy a couple jars of meat but like pp said it does gross me out so I may not be able to give it to her.  I like the idea of giving her some very small pieces of shredded chicken.  Maybe I'll give her a little turkey at Thanksgiving.

    Ditto!  We just started with meat last week.  We gave him little bites of rotisserie chicken and he did great with it!

    I haven't yet, but wholesomebabyfood.com said 8 months, so I'm going to give DD her first meat (turkey) at Thanksgiving. ^_^

    Our pedi said to wait until 7 months at their appt. 

    The idea of jarred meats grosses me out too.  However, my mom watches the girls and decided (on her own....but that's a whole other post) to give them a jar of chicken and apples yesterday.  Apparently, they *loved* it.

    As an added bonus, both girls had black tar-like poo this morning.  It had to be the chicken.

    Pedi said it was okay at six months, but she started solids at 3.5 months.  I pureed my own meat and it worked fine.

    My pedi said okay at 6 months. He has taken quite well to them- both jarred and DIY pureed. The Earth's Best chicken + sweet potatoes is pretty nonoffensive. The gerber meats are pretty disgusting, especially the ham.. blech, smells like cat food. BUT- DS loves that crap mixed with apples. He also loves chicken + apples. Last night I gave him DIY shredded pork + sweet potatoes.

    DS loves the Earth's Best chicken and turkey dinners.  I also make my own purees from chicken or pork when we eat that.
