Diet Plan for 7 Month 2 Week Old Baby

By Anisha Nair | Updated: 18/05/2020

Introduction

By the second week of the 7th month, your baby will have tasted and enjoyed most ingredients apt for his age. This week is a milestone for him as he can be introduced to some spices, in minimal quantities though. So, when you are preparing the purees, soups or porridges, you may choose to add a tiny amount of salt, sugar or jaggery according to the recipe. Further on, you can also experiment with cooking foods with extremely mild tempering for your little one. Because this menu is new for your baby, he might not like some meal combinations. You need to be patient and try a new combination to ensure he gets the nourishment that he needs. You may continue keeping a record of the foods, and the quantities your baby consumes.
