I have a little carnivore

I make all of Saoire's purees and she has always loved them, but I never wanted to puree meat because the thought of it grossed me out. I just thought I'd wait until she was good at chewing to introduce pieces of meat. She loves her finger foods and eats off of my plate all the time now, so I let her try a bit of my BBQ'd chicken the other night. I took off the outside with the flavoring on it and shredded pieces from the inside of the chicken breast and she went nuts! She was clawing my arm and growling like a rabbid dog. I couldn't keep her off of my plate so she ended up eating most of my chicken. Now she won't even touch purees. I'm afraid I've created a monster. We're trying hamburgers tonight.

Anyone else's baby go nuts over meat?

P.S. - DH is thrilled because he grew up on a cattle farm and all his family eats is meat and potatoes, but when I had a strong meat aversion for 6 months of my pregnancy he kept asking "You don't think the baby is a vegetarian, do you?" His fears have been proven wrong.

    We have one!  Holy cow do we have one.

    We have meatloaf and hamburgers a lot - that meat is easier to eat.  We've given her slices of grilled steak to suck on and she sucks them until they are grey.  The first time she got steak, she dropped it after a while, so DH put it on his plate....and she legit whined and reached for it until we gave her a new piece.

    DD loves her meat as well! I've given her bits of my hamburger and chicken, and the other night she ate an entire meatball in a flash! She picks over the other food on her plate and looks for the good stuff Stick out tongue

    I pureed some chicken the other night and he's not that big of a fan, which is ok b/c it really is pretty gross!  I dont know if he is ready for table food though... he eats puffs ok and is pretty good at gnawing on toast... maybe Ill give it a go this weekend? I want him to get some extra protein!

    We do BLW, and meat is by far DD's favorite food!! About a week after we started giving her solids, we had dinner at my brother's house. My SIL had made prime rib. We gave DD a chunk of it, and oh my goodness, she went crazy over it. She held onto it so tight and went MMmmMMmmm while she sucked on it. She sucked one end till it was white, so I wanted to flip it around for her but she wouldn't let go! lol
