A. For a 7-month-old baby, introducing a variety of solid foods while continuing breast milk or formula is essential for balanced nutrition. Here’s a simple diet plan to consider: Breakfast Porridge or Oatmeal: Made with water or milk (breast milk or formula). You can add mashed banana or pureed fruit for flavor. Fruit Purees: Offer pureed fruits like apples, pears, or peaches. Mid-Morning Snack Vegetable Purees: Cooked and pureed vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, or peas. Lunch Rice or Dal: Soft-cooked rice or lentils (dal) mixed with vegetable puree. You can also offer khichdi (a mix of rice and lentils). Mashed Potato: Plain or mixed with vegetables. Afternoon Snack Finger Foods: Soft-cooked, diced fruits like bananas or avocados, or small pieces of soft-cooked vegetables like carrots or zucchini. Dinner Cereals: Iron-fortified baby cereals mixed with water or breast milk. Mixed Purees: Combination of fruits and vegetables or cereals. General Tips Allergies: Introduce one new food at a time and wait 3-5 days to watch for any allergic reactions. Texture: Start with smooth purees and gradually introduce lumpier textures as your baby becomes accustomed to eating solids. Hydration: Offer small sips of water in a sippy cup during meals. Continued Milk Intake Ensure that your baby continues to have breast milk or formula as the primary source of nutrition, aiming for about 24-32 ounces per day. Always consult with your pediatrician before making significant changes to your baby's diet, especially to address any specific nutritional needs or concerns.
