Which protein meals are favourites to start with?

[Marthasmummy]

My lo is now 6 1/2 months old so I have started to try to give her meals with some protein in but am having minimal luck. I made the Ak chicken with sweet potato and apple from 100 purees book but she really doesn't like it ( I loved it on the other hand!) Which recipes can you recommend I start with which include chicken or fish? (I have the complete meal planner book and 100 purees.)
Also, one other thing- how many milk feeds should she be having? I am finding it really difficult to fit in 3 meals and 4 milk feeds as she is only awake between 8am and 6.15pm and there aren't enough hours in the day to space out all the meals! Should I cut back to 3 milk feeds?

i must admit for early protein meals, i bought some pureed meat in jars & then mixed small amounts with his veggy favourites. this worked well.

It is hard to fit in all the feeds, but i did as follows:

Milk on waking
8.00 breakfast
10.30 milk
12.30 lunch
3.00 milk
5.00 tea
milk for bedtime (6.30)

Gradually as you increase the amounts of solid food, you can cut down the amount of milk, (i dropped the milk on waking first), then the mid afternoon, then the mid morning. It all just takes time. Good luckxx

for fish i would do salmon with a home made cheese sauce - simple yet not too strong tasting to begin with - chicken u could do a casserole with carrots,leeks and potatoes , kayx
