Re: Problems with meat
by Anonymous
We've been at this for 2 months, really only eating much of anything for a month. I've been concerned about iron also. The bubs was born a little on the small side and here in the US those are the only babies they say need iron supplementation before 6 months, which we did not do. And he isn't receiving iron fortified rice cereal, and we give him almost no meat. So we are just crossing our fingers and hoping that the iron in the dark green veggies and in the grains he is getting is enough (plus the iron that is more readily available in breastmilk so even though it is low concentration it is easily used by babies). If you are concerned about iron, ask for a blood test. I've decided at his 1 year appointment I will ask for a blood test and then I'll just know and I'll be able to do something about it. Elias is quite hale and hearty currently, so I'm going to let it go. Kind of like the gagging. As far as meat I have little advice, as we haven't pushed the meat much, but he eats something dark green at every meal. I know others have suggested roast chicken legs, with the little pieces of meat that are nice and juicy and just the right size.
