i generally recommend that my patients start introducing proteins (such as meat and dairy) at about 7 months -- assuming that there are no dairy allergies/intolerances. full fat dairy is what we usually recommend until age two years. meats such as beef and poultry are usually well tolerated. the proteins to stay away from until one year of age are: fish seafood egg whites and nuts. each pediatrician tends to offer different advice as to when to introduce these "allergenic" proteins so please ask your doctor about his/her preferences.
is it safe to feed meat and yogurt to my 9-month-old?
