when should i introduce some protein?

[louise1302]

you wouldnt think i had 3 kids before archie but the age gap is big(9 years) and i cant remember

atm archies diet consists of veg-butternut squash, sweet potato, broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, swede, parsnips, peas and courgette

and fruit-apple, pear, banana, mango, melon, peach, strawberry and avocado

when is it time too introduce stuff like chicken and fish?

im sure i read somewhere that they dont need protein in their diet until 6m but am not too sure

We were told around 9-10mo was best, I think with casen he might have been 8 though. Some drs say from the time they start weaning it's ok though, I prefer to wait a bit though
