I seem to remember DS chowing down on a homemade beef meatball at 6 months old - now at 17 mo he will not eat meat. I stuff him full of houmous, beans and peanut butter to get protein into him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenwhat-was-los-first-protein#post-2184606 Wed, 20 May 2015 13:54:38 +0000 Peasinapod 2184606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: thanks :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenwhat-was-los-first-protein#post-2184502 Wed, 20 May 2015 12:56:45 +0000 Foodnerd81 2184502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Peasinapod: I took a couple of big chicken breasts, a little water or chicken broth, and put them in the slow cooker on low for 5 hours or until they were really soft. Super easy. I would add seasonings for mine and dh but left her plain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenwhat-was-los-first-protein#post-2184246 Wed, 20 May 2015 09:40:31 +0000 autumnlove 2184246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>eggs and chicken </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenwhat-was-los-first-protein#post-2184240 Wed, 20 May 2015 09:34:33 +0000 Mae 2184240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's first solid was avocado. I think the next protein we tried was turkey at thanksgiving, she was not a fan. Next was egg or black beans I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenwhat-was-los-first-protein#post-2184215 Wed, 20 May 2015 09:01:43 +0000 Peasinapod 2184215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: ohh I like the slow cooker idea!

Quinoa as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenwhat-was-los-first-protein#post-2184200 Wed, 20 May 2015 08:48:57 +0000 Foodnerd81 2184200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hummus was, and still is, an early favorite protein (heads up, I know a few babies who had skin reactions to sabra brand but not others- by a big deal but it scared me at first!). She also used to like pulled or shredded chicken made in the slow cooker. the pieces were nice and small and soft that way. We also tried ground meat (turkey or beef) and then meatballs. </p> <p>Never did many purees anyway, and pureed meat grosses me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenwhat-was-los-first-protein#post-2184125 Wed, 20 May 2015 07:40:53 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2184125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was always so grossed out by pureed meat that I just couldn't do it! As purees we gave my daughter hummus and pureed white beans and black beans mixed with veggies. You can start that whenever. </p> <p>We pretty quickly moved out of the smooth puree stage. I would give her tiny bites of chicken, and a big hit was little bites of really soft pot roast. </p> <p>Oh and cottage cheese is a good one too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenwhat-was-los-first-protein#post-2184124 Wed, 20 May 2015 07:40:13 +0000 Alivoo01 2184124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did chicken.

Probably chicken or beef. I puréed whatever we ate a bit and gave it to him. I did that with both boys. This was probably at 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenwhat-was-los-first-protein#post-2183920 Tue, 19 May 2015 21:47:30 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2183920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chicken pieces, about 5 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenwhat-was-los-first-protein#post-2183917 Tue, 19 May 2015 21:44:49 +0000 fancyfunction 2183917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't remember her exact age but it was probably hummus.

I made a purée that had chicken, sweet potatoes and apple. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whenwhat-was-los-first-protein#post-2183870 Tue, 19 May 2015 20:45:17 +0000 Meridian 2183870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started LO on purees about 3 or 4 weeks ago when he turned 6 months. So far it's been sweet potato, banana, avocado, etc. When do you work in proteins and what kind? We tried scrambled eggs, and I don't think he liked the texture. Not sure if I should wait a little longer, and try small chunks of chicken? </p>
