A. At six months old, you can introduce solid foods to your baby's diet alongside breast milk or formula. Indian baby food options at this stage can include: 1. **Pureed Vegetables:** Cooked and mashed or pureed vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, peas, and spinach are good choices. 2. **Fruits:** Pureed or mashed fruits such as apples, pears, bananas, and mashed ripe papaya are suitable options. 3. **Rice Cereal:** Cooked rice cereal mixed with breast milk or formula can be a good introduction to grains. 4. **Lentils and Legumes:** Cooked and mashed lentils (dal) or other legumes like moong dal can provide protein and iron. 5. **Khichdi:** A simple, nutritious dish made with rice, lentils, and mild spices like cumin and turmeric. 6. **Mashed Potatoes:** Cooked and mashed potatoes are easy to digest and can be seasoned with a pinch of cumin or coriander. 7. **Yogurt:** Plain, unsweetened yogurt can introduce probiotics and calcium to your baby's diet. Remember to introduce one new food at a time and wait a few days before introducing another new food to check for any signs of allergies or sensitivities. Additionally, ensure that the food is mashed or pureed to a smooth consistency to prevent choking hazards. Always consult with your pediatrician before introducing new foods to your baby's diet.
