I have only just started giving Jake meat as he has previously only been on fruit and veg. I gave him some pork today which was left over from our tea. I pureed it with some warm milk and cheese and added some mashed potato to it. Jake is on lumps but if your LO isn't then you can just puree it all together. If you have meat for your meal just put a bit aside to puree for your LO but if you arn't having meat they sell lots of jars now with meat in. You will need to add some milk or water to the meat before you puree it. I am not sure how old your LO is but I would wait until 6 months to start introducing meat as it might be a bit much for his tummy to take else.

Hi it is possible to bring Rhys up as a non meat eater. This is a link from the veg society website and another from the baby centre website.
