SOLIDS....

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
My DD has been on cereals since 4 months old. She's now taking fruits, and most veggies (though the veggies have become a downright fight at night. We mix it with formula and oatmeal, but whatever works!). Her doc had mentioned "no meats" til her 9 month appointment. There's 2nd foods that are "chicken pot pie" or whatever....am I not allowed to give these to her?? She'll be 7 months old this month. I'm wondering if I could give her some of these "entree" foods with some veggies to try to get her to take her veggies easier?? What are your opinions?

    My dr. said no meat until 9 months either. He said it had something to do with how the stomach acids process meat.

    I've been avoiding it just because I think mashed meat is all shades of gross not so much because I believe his theory. (Although that is one of the few things he has ever commented on).

    However, now at 8 months I have started giving her little pieces of hamburger/shredded pork and chicken etc.

    We're all still here and fine.

    I also agree with the pp. We do spinach and mango (I bought that) but I mix peas and applesauce, carrots and pumpkin etc. all the time. Google for some good combos.

    Yeah, sometimes I mix them when I get desperate. I'm trying not to give her too many fruit servings a day. But I'll do it if that's the only way to get her to take her veggies. As far as the meats go, maybe I'll wait another month or so. I wasn't sure as to the "why" when he mentioned not to do it. I don't want to rush or push her digestive system.
