I thought the point of all food at this stage was for their experimentation and to get them used to the whole eating new foods thing rather than for specific nutrients - hence milk is still the most important part. I also thought I'd read iron starts depleting around 4 months...? 'Babylove' (by Robin Baker) recommends meat as part of the introduction process. Having said that I haven't given Liam any meat yet. As for teething putting bubs off eating, it makes sense. If your mouth hurts you probably don't want too much food...? Why does all the information have to be so conflicting??!! I guess it comes down to that good old mother instinct again. ....my instinct is tired.... hehe
