How much red meat need a 7 month baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NONE: A 7 month old baby does not "need" any meat at all. The best food for a 7 month old baby is breast milk. If that is not available then formula is next best. It is ok to give some mashed veggies like yams and squash and fruit like avocado and applesauce. Perhaps some rice cereal. I would not advise meat of any sort (including chicken or fish) the first year of life.
