Meatballs are a big hit now and easy to eat. Puréed meat turns my stomach a little! :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-start-pureed-meat#post-85706 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 07:50:42 +0000 Lozza 85706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also started a little after 6 months. Our nurse practitioner suggested that lamb was really good nutritionally for babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-start-pureed-meat#post-85695 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 06:09:34 +0000 cupcakemama 85695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started meat at about 6 months. I usually just keep aside some of what we are having for dinner and then chop it up really finely. When I serve it up ( usually for lunch the next day) I add in some hot water to make it more juicy and easier for LO to eat. LO eats all types of meat and fish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-start-pureed-meat#post-85691 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 06:01:53 +0000 heffalump 85691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad you asked this question, I've been thinking of starting meat too! Ill probably give her a piece of chicken next time we have some. Ill bake it with ours but I won't season it and then puree it and probably mix it with a veggie that I already know she likes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-start-pureed-meat#post-85679 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 02:45:19 +0000 looch 85679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started with jarred just to see if he'd eat it and to see what the consistency was like.</p> <p>When I was sure he'd eat it, I'd just poach a bit of chicken in some water and then puree with sweet potato or whatever veggie he was eating.</p> <p>You could also try some meatballs if you ask your butcher to grind a piece of filet mignon. We also did that so we could control the fat in the meat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-start-pureed-meat#post-85570 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 21:00:38 +0000 chopsuey 85570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started pureeing chicken and giving it to LO at around 6 months. I would cook brown rice+water+onions+carrots+chicken or other combos using brown rice and chicken. Then blend it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-start-pureed-meat#post-85558 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 20:50:45 +0000 Maysprout 85558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started pulling off meats for her around 6 months. I just would mince whatever I had and give it to her. We don't eat much meat usually, just for special occasions. We got a good quality turkey for Thanksgiving so I just minced that up with a bit of water and egg yolk and made little meatballs for her that we keep in the freezer and thaw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-start-pureed-meat#post-85555 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 20:43:25 +0000 Rubies 85555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At LO's 6-month appointment, doctor said I can start meats whenever I felt LO was ready. </p> <p>So, I'm just curious when people introduced meat and poultry to their LOs. How did you prepare it? </p>
