POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. When starting solids for your 6-month-old daughter, here’s a guideline on frequency, quantity, and types of food to offer:
Frequency:
Start with 1-2 times a day: Begin with one meal and gradually increase to two meals as she gets used to solids.
Quantity:
Start small: Begin with about 1-2 tablespoons of food per meal. Gradually increase the amount as she shows interest and tolerance, aiming for 3-4 tablespoons as she becomes more accustomed.
Initial Foods to Offer:
1. Single-Grain Cereals:
Rice or oatmeal cereal mixed with breast milk or formula to a smooth consistency.
2. Fruits:
Apple Puree: Cooked and pureed apples.
Banana: Mashed ripe banana.
Avocado: Mashed avocado.
3. Vegetables:
Sweet Potato: Cooked and mashed.
Carrot: Steamed and pureed.
Pumpkin: Cooked and blended.
4. Legumes:
Moong Dal: Cooked and mashed, ensuring it's smooth.
Tips:
Introduce one food at a time: This helps identify any allergies or sensitivities.
Observe for reactions: Wait 3-5 days before introducing new foods.
Texture: Ensure all foods are pureed or mashed to a smooth consistency to avoid choking.
Always consult your pediatrician before starting solids to ensure it’s appropriate for your daughter’s individual needs.
