A. Yes, you can give masoor dal (red lentils) to your 11-month-old baby. It is a good source of protein, iron, and other essential nutrients. However, before introducing it, ensure the dal is cooked thoroughly and well-mashed or pureed to make it easy for your baby to swallow. Here's how you can prepare it: Cook the Masoor Dal well: Cook it until it is soft and tender. You can boil it and then mash or blend it to a smooth consistency. Introduce it gradually: Start by offering a small quantity and watch for any allergic reactions or digestive discomfort. Add mild spices or vegetables: You can add a pinch of turmeric, cumin, or mild vegetables like carrots or pumpkin for additional flavor and nutrition. Masoor dal is a healthy option but ensure it's part of a balanced diet along with other foods to support your baby’s growth and development. If you have any concerns about introducing new foods, it’s always good to consult your pediatrician.
