The introduction of meat products into the baby's diet is an important stage in his life. The pediatrician will help you determine the exact date, since earlier administration is fraught with allergic reactions and excessive stress on the baby's digestive system, and delayed administration can develop anemia and a lack of B vitamins.
Instructions
Step 1
Give preference to industrially produced meat products. They have a more delicate consistency and are prepared with the maximum preservation of all useful trace elements and vitamins. In addition, it will save you time, which is better spent communicating with your child.
Step 2
Decide what kind of meat product you are going to feed your baby. This can be turkey, rabbit, or lean beef. Be careful with chicken as it can cause allergies.
Step 3
Make sure of the quality of the product offered to the baby: check the expiration date, packaging in the case of an industrial product. If you cooked a meat dish yourself, then make sure that the meat is completely boiled and has a consistency appropriate for the child's age.
Step 4
Add half a teaspoon of meat puree to a product already familiar to your child, which he usually eats with pleasure. Better to add meat to vegetable puree or soup. Observe the child over the next 24 hours.
Step 5
If the consumption of the meat product did not cause any allergic reactions, then increase the volume of the meat product the next day to 1 teaspoon. On the next day, give the child 2 teaspoons of pureed meat, etc. Thus, increase the daily volume of meat to the norms corresponding to the age of the baby. At 8-9 months, it is 30-40 g, by 11-12 months, you can give your baby 50-70 g of meat per day.
Step 6
Introduce your child to other types of meat according to the points above.
Step 7
The very last meat product worth introducing a child to is mutton. It is fatty enough and hard to digest.
