Diet Plan for 7 Month 4 Week Old Baby

By Anisha Nair | Updated: 14/05/2020

Introduction

So, how has the journey been so far? We hope your little one is having a great time trying foods with new textures and tastes. Now that you are in week 4 of the 7th month, it is time to introduce your baby to healthy, and slightly complex combinations of foods in different consistencies that are appropriate for his age. Having said that, you need to ensure that breastmilk is still an essential component of your baby’s meals that must not be substituted. By this time of the month, your baby would also have improved hand and eye coordination, so, you may include a variety of well-cooked foods that he can easily pick with his own hands. This new diet might cause constipation in some babies, so do not skip the breastfeeding sessions. You also need to ensure that your baby drinks enough water and consumes fibre-rich meals.
