1. **Khichdi:** A wholesome mix of rice and lentils, cooked to a soft consistency.
2. **Vegetable Purees:** Offer pureed vegetables like carrots, peas, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes.
3. **Fruits:** Introduce soft, mashed fruits such as banana, papaya, and cooked apple.
4. **Yogurt:** Plain yogurt is a good source of calcium and can be introduced at this age.
5. **Soft Chapati or Roti:** Tear small pieces and serve alongside mild gravies or mashed vegetables.
6. **Dal (Lentils):** Cooked and mashed or pureed lentils provide protein.
7. **Paneer (Cottage Cheese):** Soft paneer can be cut into small, manageable pieces.
8. **Ragi (Finger Millet) Porridge:** Nutrient-rich and can be given as a porridge.
9. **Dalia (Broken Wheat) Porridge:** Cooked to a soft consistency, easy for a baby to eat.
10. **Egg Yolk:** If your baby has started on non-vegetarian foods, you can introduce cooked and mashed egg yolk.
Remember to introduce new foods one at a time, observe for any allergic reactions, and ensure that the food is prepared and served in a manner suitable for your baby's age and ability to chew. Always consult with your pediatrician for personalized advice based on your baby's needs and development.
