    Hi Leasha,

    We started our DD on meat about 7 months. Our reason was that we wanted her to have veges and fruit first, and were introducing things one by one. I just cooked casserol style in water (without all the normal casserole flavours to start with), then minced in the food processor. I never pureed meat..

    Oh - and we gave oats (porridge from 5&1/2) months mixed with formula, then when yoghurt introduced, replaced formula with yoghurt.

    Darcy wouldn't eat the baby porridges/cereals...she loved oats - so that's what she had. That's what she still has. Some of the 'rules' say to steer clear of oats and wheat based cereals for the first 12 months, but I agree with Barb.

    Hi pixie, apparently yoghurt is safe from 6 months. I've also heard that the baby yoghurt is only less lumpy than our yoghurt so no need to go buy special yoghurt just make sure there aren't overly huge lumps in whatever you give them.

    Leasha, my eldest two only ever ate oats/porridge for brekkie as toddlers - still love it in winter. It is really really filling and low GI too, so it's a perfect food choice for her.

    The Pixie, just buy the normal yoghurt, there's no need to worry about the 'baby' ones as they are usually loads more expensive too. The baby ones often have more sugar as well, and make sure you don't buy low fat.

    No Trill, I wouldn't buy those baby yoghurts and I don't believe in low fat dairy so I definitely wouldn't give it to her! I just gave her some of ours which is plain gippsland dairy yoghurt (very yum btw) with some banana and she absolutely LOVED IT! Never seen her enjoy something so much!

    Charlotte wont eat anything for breakfast except Daddy's oats, or mummy's weetbix! lol
    Apparently I cant make oats properly and DH CANNOT make weetbix properly!

    I think she first had some of daryl oats when she was about 5.5 months...when we started her on cereals she would eat some farex some days if i was there, but she still would rather wait for Daryl to make her breakfast
