A. hi...Start with mashed or pureed vegetables (carrots, pumpkin, potato, sweet potato, sponge gourd or ash gourd). Fruit purees like ripe and cooked apple, pear or mashed banana Gluten-free baby cereals You can use a combination of solid food and breastmilk to help them transition to solid food. Give them small amounts no more than a tablespoon at a time. Once they start getting used to the foods, you can start mixing things up such as yoghurt and apple. Purees and mashed foods are the first step towards eating solids. Babies take time making this progression, and it should be introduced using a gradual step-by-step process : from soups to purees to chunkier solids. You do not need to wait for their teeth to come – they are good at chewing soft solid foods like rice and lentils using their gums. By 8 months, your baby will have learnt to chew by moving food in his mouth with his tongue. Avoid adding sugar and salt to any of their meals. While salt can damage your baby’s kidneys, sugar has been linked to increasing the chances of diabetes and obesity. egg yolk can be safely included in the diet of babies as young as eight months of age, although egg white should only be introduced after twelve months.
