Is meat only to be introduced after 6 months old?

I'm not 100% sure of what you can give if weaning before 6 months, but i think meat is after 6 months yeah. Maybe just baby rice etc before then? xx

I started weaning Anna at 5.5 months. She had fruits and vegs and some baby cereal - Anna hated baby rice and I realised why when I tasted it.

I waited til 6 months til she could have meat/fish/eggs

It's recommended that you wait until after 6 months to introduce dairy, meat and wheat or gluten, and if you have a family history of food allergies to wait even longer before introducing common allergens.
