Z.L.
Our pediatrician said to begin meats around 6-8 months but because we waited until 6 1/2 months to start solids that meant to start her on meat around 8 1/2 months. Meat has building block nutrition that cannot be gotten from vegetable or dairy type proteins. I am not too keen on the pureed stuff myself but my feeling is they need it at least for a while because they are building their little bodies right now. After the one year mark, you can offer your daughter eggs which is a wonderful source too. Hope this helps!
