hj.. i personally wouldnt be feeding my 5-6 month old meat or pasta.
I stick to fruit and veg right now and cereal, as babies bodies are not ready to break down proteins at that age.
My pead says..
Meat is a good source of protein, but at this stage most babies get protein from their milk. The main benefit of introducing meat is for the extra iron that it provides. This is because babies' stores of iron may begin to deplete between 7-9 months of age. Iron is an essential part of the blood stream, carrying oxygen to tissues to provide the energy needed for growth.
