#asktheexpert please suggest me a healthy meal plan for my baby

A. For your 7-month-old baby, a balanced and nutritious feeding plan is essential for healthy growth. At this age, you can continue breastfeeding or formula feeding, while also gradually introducing solid foods. Start with single-ingredient purees like rice cereal, mashed bananas, sweet potatoes, apple puree, and carrot puree. Aim for 2-3 meals per day along with breast milk or formula. You can introduce small pieces of soft, cooked vegetables and fruits as finger foods to help with teething and encourage self-feeding. Be sure to offer a variety of textures and flavors, and keep offering water in a sippy cup. Always consult your pediatrician before introducing new foods to monitor for allergies and ensure proper growth.
