POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 7 m old boy1 Year agoA. For a 6-month-old baby in an Indian context, you can start introducing soft, mashed or pureed versions of traditional Indian foods along with age-appropriate complementary foods. Here are some options: 1. **Homemade Khichdi**: A nutritious blend of rice and lentils cooked until soft and mashed. You can add vegetables like carrots, peas, or spinach for added nutrition. 2. **Pureed Vegetables**: Cook and puree vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, and pumpkin. These are rich in vitamins and minerals. 3. **Pureed Fruits**: Introduce mashed or pureed fruits like bananas, apples, pears, and cooked mashed papaya. These provide essential vitamins and natural sweetness. 4. **Dal (Lentil) Soup**: Start with well-cooked and mashed dal (lentils) like moong dal or masoor dal. Gradually introduce different varieties as your baby gets used to them. 5. **Soft Chapati/Roti**: You can offer small pieces of soft chapati or roti soaked in dal or milk. Ensure it's soft and easy to chew. 6. **Ragi (Finger Millet) Porridge**: Ragi porridge is highly nutritious and easy to digest. Cook ragi flour with water or milk until it thickens, and serve it warm. 7. **Mashed Rice**: Cook rice until soft and mash it with a little ghee (clarified butter) for added flavor and texture. Remember to introduce new foods one at a time and watch for any signs of allergies or intolerance. Additionally, ensure that foods are mashed or pureed to a consistency suitable for your baby's age and stage of development. Always consult with your pediatrician before introducing new foods to your baby's diet.
