Question

My baby is 6 months old. Can he have minced meat and potatoes?

Answer

Yes, 6 months of age is a great time to introduce red meat, as it's a great source of iron that will help their brain and immune system to develop.

 

At 6 months, babies still need all food to be pureed so once you've ensured your meat is cooked all the way through and that there are no pink bits, you can mix with boiled or steamed potatoes and other vegetables and then puree with a blender so that the mixture is nice and smooth.

 

Once your little one is about 7 months old, you can start to offer them mashed food with very small soft pieces.
