Author of questionMom of a 2 yr 8 m old girl1 Year agoA. Thanks for your quick response. I'm feeding her all these things right from 6 months onwards except for Avocado. Do we need any vitamin supplements to increase weight?
POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. For a 10-month-old baby in India, it's important to focus on nutrient-dense foods to support healthy weight gain. Here are some food options:
1. **Homemade Cerelac:** A mix of ragi (finger millet), rice, and dal (lentils) cooked and blended into a smooth consistency.
2. **Khichdi:** A nutritious blend of rice and dal with vegetables. You can also include ghee for added calories.
3. **Avocado:** Rich in healthy fats, mashed avocado is a great option for a growing baby.
4. **Banana:** A nutrient-dense fruit that's easy to mash and eat.
5. **Sweet Potato:** Boiled or mashed sweet potato is a good source of calories and nutrients.
6. **Full-Fat Yogurt:** Choose plain, full-fat yogurt for added calories and calcium.
7. **Eggs:** Well-cooked and mashed eggs provide protein and healthy fats.
8. **Paneer (Cottage Cheese):** Soft and finely mashed paneer can be added to various dishes.
9. **Moong Dal Soup:** A light and easily digestible soup made from yellow moong dal.
10. **Ghee:** Adding a small amount of ghee to foods can increase their calorie content.
Always introduce new foods one at a time to watch for any potential allergies. Additionally, consult with your pediatrician to ensure your baby's weight gain is healthy and appropriate for their age and development. They can provide personalized guidance based on your baby's specific needs.
