Meat adds the protein your growing baby needs. If your family eats vegetarian meat can be substituted by, for example, tofu. Wait with the egg white until baby is 1 year old because of risk of allergy. You can offer yogurt, cheese or cottage cheese when baby is about 9 months old. Around the age of 8-10 months many babies start to show an interest in drinking from a cup.
Good choices are water or natural fruit juices.
Don't offer juices too often since they contain natural sugars, which can lead to tooth decay and obesity. Such a baby should be viewed as potentially allergic himself. Some foods are more likely than others to cause allergic reactions, avoidance of these foods during the first year of life is effective in reducing these reactions. Some highly allergenic foods include wheat, fish, tomatoes, onions, citrus fruits, chocolate, spices, nuts. Skin rashes, eczema, hives, and sore bottom.
