luv it ....gonna try these recipes for my little darling

For 8-9months babies, hope u would have started giving solids.. Now u can give rice dall, mild rice kichdi, carrot, potatoes in rice, dall with pinch of cumin seeds and 2pepper, salt pinch. Start giving seasonal fruits.

For 6months baby, start with mashed fruits (apple, banana). Then boiled mashed veggies(carrot, potatoes, sweet potatoes), then liquid ragi malt.. Then slowly increase it to semisolid consistent and quantity. Introduce each variety in particular gap of days.. Wait for babies digestive system. If it suits then go to next item. Don't introduce at a time two or more varieties.. Then after few days u can give rice..

Pls share more recipies for 8-9 months babies

THQQQQQ SO MUCH...

thank you. please share more recipes for 9 months child

thnku but rice must be coked and wash again?? to dry .

As a nutritionist, just wanted to add that it would be better to keep the amount of liquid to minimum in whatever foods you give to your 6-9 Mo th old child. Their stomachs are very small. Giving them predominantly liquid food will not give them sufficient nutrients. Keep the consistency to that of honey. The kid can simply lick off the food. And ensure that the food is all mashed. Kanji, as mentioned, is a good option; just ensure it has honry-like consistency.

ragi is nachni

hi my daughter is 5 months 10 days old, can we start solid food as given here. thanks, shraddha

babies do such things. my son loved soup but now he doesn't even look at it. try new things every week. don't worry. let his taste buds taste different things.

Hi my baby is 6 months old.. I started feeding him solid with "Easum Rice powder" with pinch of salt and sugar as per the pediac. In joy my baby ate a spoonful on 1st two days and then yesterday was his 4th day and he was not at all interested in eating and was spitting out. Please help. Also as I read in the above comments you have mentioned about giving jaggery rather than sugar and salt, so when can I add sugar and salt for my baby? Thank you,

you can also use baby rice which can be bought from the market or made at home. I made at home. keep rice soaked in water for 6 hours. strain n dry. bake them in a pan. grind. store in an airtight container. use them in any rice recipe.

In rice kanji you mentioned that boiled rice we have to sun dry, what about the bangal gram we should do the same prositure to this gram also?

will giving them dal or bengal gram cause indigestion and constipation problems. as my child is 6 months old.

thanks very much for the receipe.

@Akshata : It is good to avoid dairy products like cow milk and butter. But adding a very small amount of ghee will cause no harm after 6 months. You can use 1tbsp for a day. You can also start giving home made paneer after 1 year.

@meghana : You can for sure give ragi. Giving curd rice could increase the cold for few kids. They to include turmeric, vegetables, fruits, egg, chicken soup to his diet. I have written this comment assuming your child is more than 6 months old and you have already introduced each of the ingredient.

My daughter is going to be of six months. Please suggest some more recipes

Hi Meghana i think ragi porridge is ok but feed only once in a day because i have seen some parents avoid feeding it during cold cough. But please avoid curd rice it will make him worse cos I ve experienced it in my baby. Try some khchdi add little salt n blackpeper if he has cross 8 months. It will make him more tasty n speed recovery. Good luck ☺

My son is having cold. Can i feed him Ragi porridge and Curd rice? Quick response would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi.. my daughter will be completing 6 months and will be starting on solids soon.. our doctor has suggested to start with plain cooked cereal (rice / ragi).. We can introduce vegetables and fruits slowly.. however our doctor has asked us to avoid using dairy products like milk, curd, ghee and butter till she turns 1..

very useful receipies.. thanks for ur articles

These are really good. Bt now my son is 1. 1yrs old. so plz tell me some recipes..

unljiel

Hi! I'm mother of twins.. I have a question about feeding raagi to my kids. Is it true that raagi cannot be given when the kids are suffering from cold ? Most of the time my twin baby boys would be suffering from cold, nose block and breaths through mouth. Can you please suggest if I can go ahead and feed raagi as breakfast to my twins? Appreciate your quick reply. Many thanks.

How much salt should I add to the rice and vegetable khichdi? Also can I add butter? My daughter is 6 months old.

How do i start for a 5-1/2 month old baby. Also i need to top feed my baby twice as she remains hungry.

Hi, my baby is in 7 months , i started solids in 6 months with the 2 times cerels and 1 time vegetables and fruit purees, i want to start giving rice items to my baby so which one is the best rice item to introduce to my baby and for how many weeks i need to feed the same item and after a week so which type of rice is good (vegetables) and what are the things that we need to feed while travwlling for a week?

@surya: better consult your pediatrician before starting solids. It's always good to start solids at 6 months.

Hi. My baby is 2 years 2 months old. He is not chewing his food. everying needs to be well smashed otherwise he will vomit. Plz suggest..

@kalpana: check my next blog, it's got toddlers. Link below: https://www.parentune.com/parent-blog/recipe-ideas-for-babies/670

Thank u so much.. its very useful

Thank you nandhini for ur recipes.

My son is 1 yr wat can I give him

https://www.parentune.com/parent-blog/recipe-ideas-for-babies/670

Hi all, my new blog is released. "recipe ideas for babies " do check it out .

@deepa: yes it should be avoided. Jaggery and fruit puree is better option to sweeten. But adding a very little amount of salt after 9 months is fine,I had consulted my pediatrician too. Otherwise your little one will like only sweet food later. This is my own personal experience. My baby loves anything sweet. He hates other food. I'm slowly teaching him to like other foods. It's just a suggestion.

@harika: 1. Mashed or boiled fruit: apple, banana, pear 2. Egg yolk: scrabble or boiled, start at 9 months 3. Boiled potato 4. Sundal: boiled and mashed green gram/channa/chickpeas.

@nisha: please start with just one meal. Start during the day time, 10:00am . Start with very little quantity, don't expect your baby to complete the food. Repeat the same food for four days, if no allergy or stomach upset you can continue with the same. Next week change to two feeds. 10:00am and 5:00 pm Third week 10:00am, 1:00pm ,6:00pm Continue for the complete month. Seventh month you can make it to four feeds.

@hema:I would suggest you not to give more water to your baby. If your baby is breast fed water is not necessary if he/she is less than 6 months. While having solid foods, yes you can give them half a cup for a meal. Try to give only if necessary, you should not fill your babies tummy with water.

@shilpa: it is always correct to feed baby solids in sitting position. Try to invest in rocking chairs, it costs around 1000, you can make your baby to sit in a slightly slanted position, they are usually completely adjustable. It also has belts. It can be converted to a rocker too. Other options is to use pillows, to get a slanted position. But you need to keep pillow on the sides too,to make sure your baby is not hurt. Since babies get fussier while eating it becomes difficult to handle the baby, pillow, plate :)

@samiya: please read the blog again. I have mentioned how to prepare rice powder

Very nice recipes. But think salt/ sugar should not be given to babies until their first birthday, their kidney could not manage the extra salt in food and auger obviously for teeth. Any suggestion?

Hi Nandini, thank you for sharing the recipes. My Lo is 8. 5 months, what all can I give her for snacks. TIA.

hi my baby is 6month old ....at starting how many meal sud i give her.... one time or 3 times a day

I have a doubt. How much water I should give to my baby. She s 7 months old now.

hey i have a doubt.. my son is 7 months n does not sit yet. what position do u guys choose to feed?

Hi Nandini.. Hw should I prepare rice cereal with white rice ?

@bharathi : yes you can start. You can give it after lunch or as snacks. You can add Jaggery/jeera powder for flavor

Hi Nandini.. Thank you for sharing good recipes.. my baby girl will enter into nine months by 28th of this month can I give curd or butter milk to her?

@zubeda: I have written another blog for 9 month babies. It is yet to be published by the website. You can start giving mashed rice with dal. Veg soup, chicken soup for snacks. Apple, water melon, musk melon, chikku fruits. You can also start giving only the yellow part of the egg, well boiled or even omlet.

@Radhika: I would suggest you to wait for another month.

Thanks for giving recipes and suggestions .

Hi my son is 9months old. which food i have to give

Hi Nandhini my baby s 5 month old shall I start to give rice kanji

Ya nandhini I'll start from 6 month onwards.. Thank u for ur suggestion..

@ashwini and @ankana: until your babies are 6 months old please do not think of any other food. Breast milk is the only healthy and sufficient food. If you are unable to give breast feed for any reason, then formula feed is sufficient. These recipes are to be started only after your baby is 6 months old. Please talk to you pediatrician if your baby is really under weight.

@Ankana.. i started single cereal cerelac in the 5th month.. semi solid wen she was 6 nd half

My baby is about to 2 months now. She is Takes formula feed from first day of her birth, I just want to know can I start ceralack after 1 months?? And what home made food shall I give her when she complete 3months or continue lactogen 1 ??

Thanku so much for ur receipes .. Along with cerelac can I give any of this food receipes to my baby. If yes, than at wat tym can I give. At wat tym.

Hi mam.. My baby is 4 months old and her weight is 5. 3 kgs.. She is having only my milk apart from my milk can I have anything else to keep, when I consulted my pead he suggested to give my feeding.. And can u help me out some healthy food receipes how to prepare for my baby.

@faridha: As we are trying new foods for our little ones we need to wait to check if they are allergic to it. So when ever you introduce a new food, wait for minimum four days before trying another new food. This way you can understand what food your baby is allergic to.

@shraddha: I am writing another blog. It will be available soon.

Mam can you please tell me some more recipes

@Farida: Number of feed depends on how old your baby is. 6 months: Start with just one feed. 11:00am After two weeks make it two feeds. 11:00am and 5:00pm 7 months: Three feeds, breakfast, lunch, dinner After two weeks make it to five feeds. Breakfast, snacks, lunch, snacks, dinner

Good recipes. I wanted to know the amount and frequency of feeding. Please help and what is a four day rule?

Very helpful information.

Can we use sprouted Ragi powder for porridge?

Boilwd potatoes. put some tomato and cook in ghee with lil zeera :)

Hi.. Thanks a lot for ur valuable info. It s very helpful for every new mom. Cheers..

How many times a days should the baby take solid food for the day I mean can we feed them I the Patten of breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner 4 different kind of food.

Good one. Top feeds can be given provided its adviced by the pediatrician. Weaning ideally shud start by 6m. Salt n sugar cannot b given??? Y so. They r natural ingrediants. Yes too much s bad. And any food in the right quantity and consistency is good for the baby. Fruits( non citrus to be introduced first) Contain sugar and salts, coconut water, cooked n mashed veggies all contain some amount of salt. But if the child s not liking the so. called feed, u can add some amunt of it to make it palatable. I would suggest introduce one type at a time, avoid ghee initially. As baby starts accepting feeds u can gradually add nuts and ghee . Egg can be gradually introduced later on by 8m.

1 -2 yrs food receipes pls... & rvrt pls mention homemade cerlac receipes....

@shwetha: initially when you start the intention is just to introduce them to solid foods. Not for filling the tummies. So what ever you try , make in very small quantities, 1 or 2 table spoon. Do not expect your baby to complete it. Always follow the four day rule, do not try a new food before four days completion of trying a food. Slowly you will understand what your baby likes and what he dislikes.

But how to know what quantity is to given when starting initially???

@shilpa: it is always good to give boiled rice and it can be digested easily. Yes, you need to wash it and dry it . spread it on a clean cotton cloth.

Boiled/raw rice has to be washed and dried???

I am using ragi powder for porridge and it's good, but the stool colour is also dark like the porridge

I am using ragi powder for porridge and it's good, but the stool colour is also dark like the porridge

Make sure the jeera is also grounded. It might prick the throat if it's whole!

These are really nice receips.. we can also give rava kheer,green moong daal paani,very sloogy rice with daal,boiled potato... happy parenting

I hv tried these receipes for my elder son, N nw for my Younger one. this reaallly helps. Also wht u cn try After 8th month is soaking up chapati in warm milk n thn blending it with a lil jaggery. u cn also add a piece of banana or anjir to this. very healthy for babies.

Very good recipes

Thanks for the recipe.

We should not add salt or sugar to baby food.. At all.. It is not required till they are one year of age

@kalpana : Yes. It is always best to avoid salt and sugar for babies under one year.

@shantiyaa: Thank you. Let me know after you try them :)

@barnali devi: it's always best to give par boiled rice as it is easy to digest.

@barnali devi: it's always best to give par boiled rice as it is easy to digest.

@shivi: Thank you. Do let me know if your little one enjoyed the food.

@ rohini, make semolina kanji. Ragi kanji they are very nutritous. Also u can give him mashes potatoes, banana, moong daal. khichdi. but start from small quantity so that even u know wat ur baby likes n can digest well. Homemade cerelac is another good option.

@ amily. Sorry for the typing error

@ emilli, baby is too small to start weaning. My baby too had latching problem n after consulting to peaditrician i started weaning at 4 months where i used to give him unsalted daal n chawal ka pani n semolina's kanji. But solids we introduced only after 6 months.

Hi amily.. its ok if he is having top feed... but u should not start solids before your baby is 6 months !

My daughter is premature born at 33 weeks 3days on 1-3-15. Her birth weight was 1. 54kg She is on top feed since birth. Can i start weaning now .what can i start for her nourishment. her weight is 5. 8kg now. She looks small.. n skinny

My child is 3 months old. But he doesn't suck breast so I feed him by giving LACTOGEN 1. plz suggest what food i will give him?

my son is 7 n 1/2 month old. i m giving him dal pani,rice pani,fresh fruit juices,tomato n spinach soup. what more can i add on this?his weight is 7. 2kg

@Amruta, Hi, Ragi should be roasted on slow flame and then powdered. Then this can be used in the porridge.

@Khwairakpam, Hi, parboiled rice, rice flakes and any easily digestable variety of rice is recommended.

Can we use Ragi powder for porridge??

I guess salt and sugar is not added to baby food till one year then how can u suggest such a thing in ur blog

Thanks for the recipe. It will be helpful for me

Could you please advise which type of rice is best for baby as I have a 9 month old baby girl.

Nice recipes... will definitely try.. thank you:-)
