Discussion about Starting solids

Starting solids

Hi, i tried starting solids by giving moong dal pani to my baby for 3 days.She took it well. Then i started with mashed banana. She hardly took 2 spoons. After that she is straining for potty. She strains so much as if she is constipated. Her stools are not hard. I am breastfeeding her. She is 5.5 months old. Does it mean she is allergic to banana? What all solids should i try giving her?

banana solidifies the stool...try rotating it with stewed apple and pear ..those will loosen the stool..start everything with small quantity first...and try a new food for atleast 3 days to observe the effect

Hi, if her stools are normal, straining for potty is not an issue because the child is just shifting and adjusting to solid food after months of liquid diet. I faced the same with my 5 mo. 2 spoons of mashed banana is good enough quantity, don't expect the tiny one to finish a whole banana right away. Moong dal ka pani will only fill up her stomach with more liquid and less nutrition, try mashed potatoes, bananas, carrots, pumpkins, ripe papaya, mango mashed etc.. check for any allergic rashes after any new food.

Try mixing banana wid some milk (any as per your choice ) . It took me months for my baby to eat solid banana from mashed banana and milk mixture. your baby is too young So do not stress about eating solids right away . Also babies strain during potty anywys . Wait out for few days to see improvement.
