POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. Introducing moong dal ka paani (green gram or mung bean soup) to a 5-month-old Indian baby can be a suitable option as one of their first solid foods. Moong dal is easy to digest and is often recommended as an ideal choice for an early solid food introduction in many Indian households. Here's how you can prepare it:
1. Wash and rinse the moong dal thoroughly.
2. Cook it in water until it's soft and well-cooked. You can pressure-cook it or boil it on the stovetop.
3. Mash the cooked dal into a smooth, runny consistency. You may need to add more water to achieve the right texture.
4. Let it cool down to a lukewarm temperature. Ensure it's not too hot to avoid burning the baby's mouth.
5. Feed the moong dal water to your baby using a small spoon or a feeding bottle.
When introducing solid foods to a 5-month-old, start with a single ingredient food like moong dal and observe how your baby responds. Look for signs of readiness, such as showing interest in food, being able to sit with support, and having good head control. Always consult with your pediatrician before introducing solid foods to ensure it's appropriate for your baby's individual needs and development. They can provide guidance on the best timing and choices for your baby's introduction to solids.
