What is the best age to introduce non-veg to my baby? And how should I give it to him? He is 7mo right now.

Hi mom, I started my babies on non-veg from the time they were 7 months old, but gave eggs once they turned 8 months, as it can sometimes lead to allergies. You can introduce chicken as a broth, light clear soup, and also add the soup for cooking rice and khichdi. Once your baby gets used to the taste, you can start giving boiled and mashed meat, and mix it with boiled potatoes or other veggies such as carrots, beets and such to add more health and taste. You can introduce fish the same way, but be very careful in both cases, as you have to remove all bones with your fingers first. Make sure it is all cooked thoroughly and is very soft. Once you start eggs, go for soft-boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, omelettes and even toast covered in egg batter (once your baby starts eating bread).
