Porridge: Rice porridge with mashed vegetables like carrot or sweet potato.

Lunch:

Vegetable Puree: Steam and blend vegetables like peas, carrots, or pumpkin.

Rice and Dal: Softly cooked rice mixed with dal (lentils) to provide protein.

Snack Time:

Fruit Puree: Mashed or pureed fruits like banana, avocado, or pear.

Yogurt: Plain full-fat yogurt can be introduced as a healthy snack.

Dinner:

Mashed Potatoes: Softly boiled and mashed potatoes with a little butter or ghee.

Khichdi: Soft rice and lentil mix with mild spices, easy to digest.

Tips:

Textures: Start with smooth purees and gradually introduce thicker textures as your baby gets used to eating solids.

Hydration: Offer water in a sippy cup with meals.

Variety: Try to include different foods each week to expose your baby to various flavors.

Always consult your pediatrician before introducing new foods, especially if you have concerns about allergies or dietary needs.
