A. Hi, try to give veggies, fresh fruits, sprouts, pulses. It is not mandatory that the baby should take rice. If baby takes a small cup of rice with curd or with fried vegetables that would also be fine. Make the plate colourful. Try give with three items like fried vegetables curd, rice. And start giving food to Baby to eat by itself which is a good practice. Initially baby will make a mess but They will start enjoying the food and they also learn to eat food which is a good practice.Write Your Answer Here
