I made my babies food in a large pot and froze it in containers, i only made it with ALOT of veggies! Now my mum is telling me that i should add a meat to keep her full because she is crawling and will burn the veggies off quickly! So my question is what do you make for your baby? And what meat do you give them?

"And what meat do you give them?"
Just so you know -- it's entirely unnecessary. Google "vegetarian baby" if you want to refute your mother. I'm not saying you necessarily should keep your baby vegetarian; just giving you something to throw back at your Mum!

Since your baby is still crawling, I'm guessing you are still pureeing her food. I also made my baby's food. One thing you can try is pureeing carrots with ham. Mashed potatoes is another good food. Chicken mixed with sweet potatoes or applesauce. When my son was 5 months, I gave him small bits of catfish because, even though my dad deep-fat fried it, the meat inside was super soft. What you can also do is use the jarred baby foods as a guide as to what your baby should be eating. Since Gerber and Beech-Nut come in stages, they usually have good menu ideas as well as what type of textures your baby should be able to eat based on her age. Next time you go shopping, take a walk down the baby isle and see what your baby would be eating if you were buying the food in jars.

I made baby food for both of my children. Either fruit, veggies, meat, or a combination of that. I blended up anything we ate--casseroles were great. I froze it in ice cube trays and popped out the cubes after they were frozen to store in a container until I was ready to thaw them to serve. I blended chicken, ham, liver, turkey. You may find that you need to add water if it is too dry.
You don't 'have' to feed your baby meat but you do need to make sure your baby gets enough protein from another source. Eggs, kidney beans, cottage cheese are all great. Don't worry about it at all if your baby is either still breast fed or still on formula.

Freshly made nutrition will continuously be better than jarred nutrition yet once you purely prefer to apply organic and organic ingredients and you will't those then you definately could desire to % between offering sparkling nutrition from non organic and organic ingredients or processed jarred nutrition. i could rather supply my daughter sparkling nutrition on a daily basis for my section, at 14 months previous she's in no way had a jar!

Yes, we make food for our baby. Generally speaking, we make for our son whatever we eat. This means that he gets veggies and meat in almost every lunch and dinner.
Whether it's hamburger macaroni and cheese to alfredo pasta to hamburgers to chicken casserole, we grind it up and give it to him.
We use a food processor, and he loves eating with us. I also think this prepares him for real foods, because, after trying his baby food for myself, when we weren't making food for him, I realized that baby food isn't actually food... it's colored crap without any taste at all.
Introducing meat to your baby's diet is a good idea, especially when he's starting to crawl. However, this is mainly because you want to introduce new foods throughout his infancy (with the exception of milk, peanuts, and honey). Even yogurt is fine for infants, particularly when they're about 10 months or so.
We give ours mashed fruit and yogurt most mornings for breakfast, although ours also likes cheerios (dry, without milk). And he's 11 months.

My son's been eating chicken and ham since he was around 5 months. He's 9 months now and eat small pieces of whatever we're having for dinner.
Start her on chicken, its the easiest on their system, and mix it with some veggies, or apples. Its great with sweet potatoes or pumpkin, or apple.

Actually, I gave them the strained Gerber meat, but you could always strain meat yourself and then mix it into the vegies.
