Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Non vegetarian items can be well introduced into diet of a 7.5 months old baby. Minced chicken, meat, egg all can be given alone, or used while preparing other items.

But take care to introduce one by one at a gap of 1-2 weeks in between, so that baby's tolerance to a particular item is ensured. For cow milk, it is better to wait till 1 year of age.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
