Are any of you July moms having your little one be a vegetarian too? Since this is about the time to start meats, what are you doing in place of meats? We have just done beans so far for the protein.

I was a  vegetarian for a while but I got sick and my doctor said my body just wasn't getting what I needed...I don't like penutbutter or beans and I just wasn't getting enough protien....so I started to eat chicken and fish and I am healthy again....but I checked out the site Amanda suggested and it is GREAT....I plan on using it often!

We're vegan and so far we have just done beans, but as soon as he is 8 months we are going to introduce tofu.  You can blend it with fruits or vegetables to serve as a puree or for finger foods you can serve cubes dusted with wheat germ or crushed cheerios.  I think I read about serving it as a finger food on the website Amanda listed.  That's a great website for moms who want to make their own babyfood.

I'm not a vegetarian, but at http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/ there are some recipes for tofu and some other vegetarian ideas too I think.
