Solids at 6months.

You can give yellow dal . just boil it add some salt and give, Mashed banana is also a cool option, Curd rice can be given, Porridge, dalia,carrot grated , soft idli,vegetable soup are some of the things i gave to my kid . :)

Add fruit to hung curd and blend. Fruit yogurt is yummy and usually loved by kids

I started with clear vegetable soups first because they find it difficult to swallow they are so used to sucking. gradually started increasing the consistency. Avoid adding excess sugar and salt ,they like exploring new taste I am giving ragi porridge,soft khichdi made of moong dal and rice an boiled vegetables. Don't stuff anything down the child's throat they eat according to their hunger and mood.

Thanks all ...what should be the duration of meal and also is it ok not to give too much milk n substitute with solids?

Quantity and duration of food varies with babies. One thing to remember is feed on demand. Never stick on particular time, if baby is hungry u feed her,.

My pediatrician said first 2 weeks would be tasting period to check if he is accepting food well n also allergy if any and then to start with 4 to 5 meals a day... what fruit sdoes everyone recommend ? Have started with banana as of now

Hello mums, my baby starts vomiting frm day 1 if i gv her solid food. She is 8mnths old. still she wants evrythng in liquid consistency

Wht shall i do?

U can start with dal water or rice water first. When baby gets habitual and started digesting that then only start solid

Any particular rice to be used?? Or the regular kolam is good

Hi. My paediatrician advised to roast local brown rice and grind it fine in a mixie. Store this in an airtight container. In half a cup of water add 1&1/2 spoons of the rice powder and jaggery n cook it like porridge. A few drops of virgin coconut oil helps wth the fat requirement. Any new meal should be introduced in the morning and start wth a few spoons on the first day. Check out for any tummy upset or skin allergies thru the day. Continue with the feed in small quantities for three days if all well and then increase the quantity. Next week, introduce raagi porridge and so on. A month down the line, you could try ground oats porridge. Be careful to serve cold as oats traps heat

HoW is everyone feeding dal and rice water? With spoon or in bottle? Also my paedtrican has asked me not to use sugar n salt till he is one year..
