She can, but she doesn’t have to at all.
My husband eats meat, whilst I’m a vegetarian. My kids grew up vegetarian and grew up strong, happy and healthy with little illnesses. My youngest is besides vegetarian also on a diary free diet

This involves health and can lead to malnutrition if you are not careful. Best to consult a doctor and/or childhood nurse as at least they can find alternatives if you insist on it. I think it is best to wait a bit longer at least till they start school as they need all the nutrients they can get for development .

They need high levels of iorn. Make sure you seek advice from a dietitian if you choose veggie.

Its ok, just make sure its mashed!

You can start meat. Just puree it up really fine and mix it in with vegies.

what did you decide on?

We didn’t start on meat until maybe 9 months and it is always only a little to start with. At 18 months now there are still a lot more cereals, fruits and vegetables in comparison to meat.

What did you end up deciding to do?

How did you go with trying the meat?

I would offer it to her and be guided by her until such time as she can make an informed decision.

Did you end up trying the meat?

I would offer it to her, I think she has the right to experience meat, and then when she is old enough to make her own decisions, she can choose herself- I have a similar situation, except the only meat I do eat is fish, but I feed my kids meat, and will leave it up to them if they wish not to eat it-it is not my choice to make in the end-it is theirs when they are old enough.

Offer it to her and if she refuses then don’t but if she eats it then do

A-Edwards read the question again, her husband DOES eat meat, shes a vegetarian. Yes, I believe you should give her meat.

That’s odd that he wants ur. Hold to eat meat if u both don’t

I didn’t not feed my bub meat often instead fed her lentils

My son gets most of his iron from non-meat sources, not by my choice, he just has a real aversion to meat. Its not an easy way to do things and you should consult a paediatrician if you’re going to do it. Because iron is so important for development, I have to do a lot of things like sneaking 6 different iron sources into muffins, making sure he has vitamin C with his non-haem iron to increase his absorption, etc. Honestly, I just wish he’d eat a steak but the paediatrician says with an aversion like my son’s, you can’t get them to eat it without holding them down and force feeding them.

She is a little bub she will need all those vitamins a nd nutrients from meat to help her grow. If you are having difficulty with allowing her to eat meat maybe hubby can help out there

Get your husband to do it if he is Willing, good luck 😛

She needs meat for iron, if you’re a vegetarian why would you wanna make your daughter like that? Meat is extremely good for you
