POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy10 months agoA. At 7 months old, your baby is ready to explore a variety of solid foods alongside breast milk or formula. Start with pureed or mashed fruits and vegetables like bananas, apples, sweet potatoes, carrots, and peas. You can also introduce cereals like rice or oatmeal, mixed with breast milk or formula to a smooth consistency. Gradually, you can add protein-rich foods such as lentils, well-cooked and mashed beans, and soft scrambled eggs (if no family history of allergies).
Make sure the food is soft and easy to swallow, as your baby is still learning to handle textures. You can also offer small amounts of mashed avocado or yogurt. Introduce new foods one at a time to monitor for any allergies or sensitivities. As your baby gets used to different tastes and textures, encourage self-feeding with small, soft pieces of food, which helps develop motor skills. Keep mealtime enjoyable and stress-free, letting your baby explore new flavors at their own pace!
