Veggie Mum Starting LO on Meat

[LuluBee]

Ok so I've been vegetarian snce I was 2 years old - I just don't like the taaste or texture of meat and have a weird phobia of fish. But I really don't want Alex to be the same, I feel so restricted with what I can eat, I'd rather he wasn't vegetarian.

So this week I'm going to bite the bullet and start Alex on meat - but how the hell do you prepare it for babies? He has finger foods but I'm guessing that meat will need to be more mashed / pureed???????? I haven't got a clue really

lol ive just asked a similar question..i guess as meat is a bit tougher to chew than veg and such it would maybe have to be pureed
sorry im no help xx

can you handle fish fingers hun,
my hv gave me a good tip, get some nice fillet fish fingers put them i the oven and peel off the bread crumbs and mix with whatever you choose, its a great starter food.
