POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. As your baby turns six months old, it's the right time to start introducing solid foods along with breast milk or formula. Here's a guide on what you can offer:
First Foods for a 6-Month-Old:
1. Single-Grain Cereals: Start with iron-fortified rice or oatmeal cereals. Mix it with breast milk, formula, or water to a thin consistency.
2. Pureed Vegetables: Start with mild-tasting vegetables like:
Carrots
Sweet potatoes
Squash
Peas
3. Pureed Fruits: Begin with soft, easily digestible fruits such as:
Apples
Pears
Bananas
Avocados
4. Mashed Lentils or Moong Dal: These are a great source of protein and easy to digest.
5. Mashed Potatoes: Soft, boiled, and mashed without adding salt or spices.
6. Plain Yogurt: If your baby tolerates dairy, you can introduce plain, unsweetened yogurt as it’s rich in calcium.
Guidelines:
Start Slowly: Introduce one food at a time and wait 3-4 days before introducing another to monitor for any allergies.
Texture: Start with smooth purees and gradually increase the texture as your baby gets used to eating solids.
No Salt or Sugar: Avoid adding salt, sugar, or honey to your baby’s food.
Always observe your baby for any signs of discomfort or allergies, such as rashes, diarrhea, or vomiting after trying new foods.
