First time mum needs help. My DS is 6.5 months, loves all veges and fruit I give him. Everyone is recommending I start him on some meat to boost his iron levels, but how do I do it?
Red meat first or chicken or fish??
I don't want to fry meat in oil/fat, trying to be healthy. Is bbq okay? Do you cook meat in small amount of water (like poaching??) but will this be too bland?
Do i puree it and freeze in small amounts like veges or shouldn't I do this as reheating may encourage bacteria and I don't want food poisoning, especially with fish/chicken!!
Do you feed just the meat to see if DS takes to it, or do you mash it together with veges for first time tasting???
Is gravy a good idea too? Are there any simple recipes I should try??
Thanks in anticipation, I just don't know where to start!!
