1. **Khichdi:** A combination of rice and lentils cooked together. It provides a good balance of carbohydrates and protein.
2. **Soft Chapati or Roti:** Tear small, soft pieces and offer them to the baby. Ensure they are easy to chew.
3. **Vegetable Purees:** Introduce pureed vegetables such as carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, or pumpkins.
4. **Fruit Purees:** Mashed fruits like bananas, cooked apples, pears, or mangoes can provide natural sweetness and vitamins.
5. **Moong Dal (Green Gram) Soup:** A mild lentil soup can be introduced for protein.
6. **Ragi (Finger Millet) Porridge:** Rich in iron and calcium, ragi can be cooked and mashed into a porridge.
7. **Mashed Potato:** Boil and mash potatoes to a smooth texture.
8. **Yogurt (Curd):** Plain, unsweetened yogurt with live cultures can be introduced for probiotics.
9. **Egg Yolk:** Cooked and mashed egg yolk can be introduced, but consult with your pediatrician regarding egg introduction.
10. **Soft Cooked Chicken or Fish:** Introduce small, finely shredded pieces of well-cooked chicken or fish.

It's important to consult with your pediatrician for personalized advice based on your baby's health and development.
