what to give a 5.5.month old

[kezzi78]

  please can someone give me some advice as my LO is starting to get a little bored with food preparing, at the moment she has

Breakfast: cereal, baby porridge, banana, yoghurt or fruit
lunch: most of annabel kamels first stage weaning, fruit or yghurt
tea: as above

When can i start finger food and what do i give her?
When can i start meat?

Thanks in advance

it all depends on your lo's development/temperment for what age people seem to go with to start on finger foods and meats.  i personally wouldn't do either before six months.  i waited until almost 8 months to do meats, and jut over 6 six for any finger foods (and nothing but baby mum mums til almost 8 months).  i may have waited a little long for some but dd had horrible tummy probs + reflux + gas so i decided to be safe.

Kezia, Calum is just over 5 months and has has bolognese with mince and also chicken, both pureed with formula and veggies added, he loved them both.
