Feeding meat to bub

Hi, I have decided it's time for Jody to try some meat.

So to cook, say beef, I just put mince in a pot with a bit of grated carrot and zucchine and cook it all up, then puree it right?

Then I can put it in ice cube trays to freeze, right?

Then do I take some out the night before and put it in the fridge to thaw for tea the next evening? (that's what I've been doing with fruit and vege)

And to heat it do I need to make it piping hot then cool it? How do I do that?? With the fruit and vege I have just been sitting her bowl in hot water until the food it warm enough for her.

I have meat/food poisoning fears...

Cool, thanks Flutterby, I will microwave it until it's good and piping hot

Another great one to try is fresh fish. Its a great source of omega 3 and really easy to eat. I just get nice flaky fish from the supermarket like red cod and pan fry it. I put it on the tray and they demolish it lol. They love the taste and its a very soft and flaky meat thats very easy to chew. Even with little to no teeth
I usually give it to the girls once or twice a week.

Hey, just a friendly heads up, too (cos not many know this) if you are breastfeeding, there isn't any need to add any extra iron to baby's diet... Thanks to the beef and ;lamb board and plunket we have instilled this fear into mums that baby needs all this extra iron, which is true, but if you are BF baby gets it all of you! (just learned that on a course I was on last week)
