When did you introduce meat to your little one?

Question

What age? Did you start with purée chicken/etc or did you start with actual meat straight away? If actual meat what did you give? Chicken, beef, etc? What’s the amount you start at with meat?

Answer

Don’t give purees meats. Just nasty. 🤮 
Actual meats are absolutely fine to give babe. Long strips are perfect. No tiny pieces as that poses more of a choking risk. 
Also teeth do not matter. 
I do baby led weaning and never gave purees.

Answer

We did purées meats at 6-7 months but she still really doesn’t like it now at almost 9 months.
We’ve tried cut up meats and puréed meats and she’s just not a fan!

Answer

The idea of puréed meat made me want to be sick. We did BLW and I was giving my daughter chicken around 6 months. I’d boil chicken strips and give her some shreds. Same with salmon. She LOVED meatballs and meat loaf too.

Answer

I never puréed our sons meat partly because I couldn’t bring myself to do that and give it to him 🤣 a dumb reason but my son actually got his teeth quite early so I was able to introduce meat to him closer to 1 maybe more around 10 months but obviously it was very small pieces and I never left him just in case he couldn’t handle it. He did fine but i still always ate with him just to be on the safe side.

Answer

We started with pureed salmon at about 7 months. And then bite size pieces of meat by 9 months.

Answer

Pureed meat kinda made me gag. I mixed broth into his veggie purees until we graduated to “chunky mash” around 7-8m. Conveniently it was winter when i tend to make a lot of soups and stews so i could shred the meat fine enough with a fork for him to chew it.

Answer

I didn't do pureed meat but I introduced shredded chicken, ground beef, and ground turkey around 7-8 months.
