A. For an 11-month-old baby in India, providing a nutrient-dense and well-balanced diet is crucial for healthy weight gain. Here are some weight-gaining foods that you can incorporate into your baby's diet: 1. **Full-Fat Dairy Products:** - Offer full-fat yogurt, cheese, and paneer (cottage cheese) as they are rich in healthy fats and calcium. 2. **Ghee:** - Include a small amount of ghee in your baby's meals for added calories and healthy fats. 3. **Bananas:** - Bananas are a calorie-dense fruit that can be mashed and offered as a snack or added to porridge. 4. **Avocado:** - Avocado is a nutritious and energy-dense fruit that provides healthy fats. 5. **Sweet Potatoes:** - Sweet potatoes are rich in complex carbohydrates and provide energy. 6. **Ragi (Finger Millet):** - Prepare ragi porridge as it is a good source of calcium, iron, and other essential nutrients. 7. **Oats:** - Oats can be introduced into your baby's diet as they are a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. 8. **Eggs:** - Cooked and mashed eggs can provide high-quality protein for muscle development. 9. **Pulses and Lentils:** - Offer well-cooked and mashed pulses (dal) and lentils, which are rich in protein. 10. **Meat (Chicken or Mutton):** - If your baby has started on non-vegetarian foods, offer small amounts of well-cooked and finely shredded chicken or mutton. 11. **Nut Butters:** - Introduce nut butters like peanut butter (if there are no allergies) spread on bread or roti. 12. **Vegetable Oils:** - Cook food in small amounts of vegetable oils like mustard oil or olive oil to add healthy fats. 13. **Fruits (Papaya, Mango):** - Include fruits like papaya and mango, which are rich in natural sugars and provide energy. 14. **Homemade Porridge:** - Prepare homemade porridge using a mix of cereals like rice, wheat, and oats for a balanced meal. 15. **Cottage Cheese (Paneer):** - Include paneer in dishes or offer small cubes as a snack for protein and fat. Always introduce new foods one at a time and monitor your baby for any signs of allergies or sensitivities. Consult with your pediatrician or a nutritionist for personalized advice based on your baby's specific growth and development needs.
