Even for older babies I find that cooking minced meat for something like a Bolognese sauce or shepherd's pie it really helps to chop it in a food processor for a few seconds so that it doesn't have such a lumpy textures.

Red Meat Nutrition

On average, babies are born with only sufficient iron reserves for approximately the first six months of life. Iron deficiency is the commonest nutritional problem for young children and red meat, particularly liver provides the best source of iron for your baby. The trouble is that meat can be quite chewy, which can put babies off, so it's best to combine meat with root vegetables or pasta both of which will help to produce a much smoother texture.
