If your baby won’t eat meat

Nutritionist Dr Rana Conway shares her tips on getting your little one munching on meat

1) Pieces of meat can be hard to chew, so try minced meat in dishes like cottage pie or spaghetti bolognese.

2) Make a meat pate by pureeing leftover meat dishes and spreading it on toast.

3) Try meat as finger food. A chicken drumstick is easy to hold and your baby can suck and chew the meat more slowly, but always make sure your baby's supervised.

4) Make sure your baby is having plenty of fish, including oily fish like salmon and mackerel, which is packed with brain-boosting omega 3 fatty acids.

5) Chickpeas, beans and lentils have some of the same nutrients as meat, so offer your little one these instead.
