#asktheexperts can u provide a food chart for 1.7 months baby

A. Certainly! At 1 year and 7 months old (19 months), your baby can mostly eat what the family eats — just softer, less spicy, and easier to chew. Here's a simple daily food chart for a 19-month-old baby: 🕗 Early Morning (7:00–8:00 AM) Breast milk or 1 glass cow’s milk (if already introduced) Few soaked raisins or almonds (crushed/chopped if needed) 🍽️ Breakfast (8:30–9:30 AM) Choose one: 1 small vegetable poha/upma 1 idli with ghee or dosa with chutney 1 boiled egg or scrambled egg 1 stuffed paratha with curd 1 banana or seasonal fruit 🥛 Mid-morning Snack (11:00 AM) 1 small bowl fruit pieces or 1 cup coconut water or buttermilk 🍲 Lunch (12:30–1:30 PM) 1 small bowl rice/khichdi or chapati pieces with ghee 1 bowl dal or light curry 1 serving vegetable (boiled/mashed if needed) 1 spoon curd or plain yogurt 🕓 Evening Snack (4:00–5:00 PM) 1 small homemade snack like suji chilla, mini sandwich, or 1 glass milk with a few bites of a healthy snack 🌙 Dinner (7:00–8:00 PM) 1 chapati soaked in dal/vegetable curry or Small bowl dalia, oats porridge, or rice with veggies 1 spoon curd 💤 Before Bed (Optional) Small amount of warm milk ✅ Tips: Keep food soft, less spicy, and avoid whole nuts, hard/raw veggies. Encourage self-feeding. Avoid junk food, excess salt, and sugar. Offer water in between meals. Let me know if your baby is underweight, picky, or has digestion issues — I’ll adjust the chart accordingly.
