How old was your baby when you started feeding him or her meat? Is 12 months still too early?

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), it is necessary to feed your baby with meat as soon as he starts eating solid food. The timetable for it is when he reaches his 4th to 6th month. Sources of iron and zinc can be found in meat products which your baby needs by that time. Nevertheless, be keen in observing your baby. Signs that he is ready for solid food must be present before you give him meat. Found an article online enumerating the signs when can you determine if your baby is suitable for solid food. http://www.babycenter.com/0_age-by-age-guide-to-feeding-your-baby_1400680.bc Other source: http://www.babycenter.com/404_when-can-my-baby-eat-meat_1368509.bc
