POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy6 months agoA. As your baby turns 6 months, you can start with easy-to-digest, single-ingredient purees and gradually introduce new foods.
Best First Foods for a 6-Month-Old
✅ Rice Cereal / Rice Porridge – Gentle on the stomach and easy to digest.
✅ Moong Dal Water – Light and protein-rich.
✅ Mashed Banana – Soft, naturally sweet, and rich in nutrients.
✅ Steamed & Mashed Apple – Good for digestion and mild in taste.
✅ Ragi Porridge – High in calcium and iron.
✅ Vegetable Purees – Carrot, pumpkin, or sweet potato (steamed & blended).
Feeding Tips:
✔️ Start with 1-2 teaspoons once a day and increase gradually.
✔️ Follow the 3-day rule – Introduce one new food at a time and wait for any allergies.
✔️ No Salt, Sugar, or Cow’s Milk – Until the baby turns 1 year old.
✔️ Continue Breastfeeding/Formula – Solids are just a complementary food.
