#asktheexpert could you please suggest baby recipes for 6 month old

A. At 6 months old, you can start introducing your baby to solid foods. Some popular Indian weaning foods for a 6-month-old baby include: 1. **Rice Cereal**: Cook rice until it's very soft and mash it. You can mix it with a little breast milk or formula. 2. **Dal (Lentil) Soup**: Cook lentils until they are soft and blend them into a soup. Make sure it's not too spicy. 3. **Mashed Vegetables**: Cook and mash vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots, and peas. Gradually introduce different vegetables. 4. **Ragi (Finger Millet) Porridge**: Ragi is highly nutritious. Mix ragi flour with water or milk and cook it to make a smooth porridge. 5. **Banana**: Mash ripe bananas, which are easy to digest and rich in nutrients. 6. **Apple Puree**: Peel, cook, and puree apples. Apples are a good source of vitamins. 7. **Khichdi**: A simple dish made from rice and lentils, sometimes with added vegetables. It's easy on the stomach. Remember to introduce one food at a time and watch for any allergic reactions. Consult with your pediatrician for guidance on your baby's specific dietary needs.
