weaning - introducing protein

[mickey]

from this weekend onwards I want to introduce proteins in LO's diet. which meat and cheese should I start with?

I would have it a go at chicken, mozarella and leerdamer. is that alright?

regarding the iron, they say red meat contains iron. what is read meat???

and how do I cook lentils and beans? just know you have to soak them, but in what (water?) and for how long and for how long do I need to cook them afterwards?

thx guys

Yep, chicken is good to start with as it purees down well. I think any cheese is ok as long as it's pasteurised.

Red meat is any meat that is red when raw.. so; beef, mutton, duck, goose are considered red meats.. not sure if there are any others.

Not sure on how to cook lentils, sorry. If I find out, I'll be back to post here. x
