A. As an 11-month-old baby is transitioning to a more varied diet, it's important to offer a balanced mix of nutrients. Here's a sample Indian diet plan for an 11-month-old: **Note: Always consult with your pediatrician before introducing new foods, especially if your baby has any allergies or specific health conditions.** **Breakfast:** - **Option 1:** - Oats porridge cooked in milk with mashed banana. - **Option 2:** - Idli or dosa with a small amount of sambar or dal chutney. **Mid-Morning Snack:** - Fruit puree or mashed boiled potatoes. **Lunch:** - **Option 1:** - Rice with moong dal khichdi, cooked vegetables, and a small amount of ghee. - **Option 2:** - Roti or paratha with mashed dal, cooked and finely chopped vegetables. **Afternoon Snack:** - Yogurt or curd with a teaspoon of pureed fruit. **Dinner:** - **Option 1:** - Soft rice or roti with a mild chicken or vegetable curry. - **Option 2:** - Mashed rice or khichdi with a side of cooked and pureed spinach or other greens. **Evening Snack:** - Ragi (finger millet) porridge or mashed banana. **Notes:** 1. Introduce a variety of vegetables, fruits, and grains to ensure a diverse nutrient intake. 2. Continue breastfeeding or formula feeds as per your baby's requirement. 3. Ensure that food is cooked thoroughly and mashed or cut into small, manageable pieces. 4. Be cautious with any potential allergens and introduce them one at a time. 5. Offer water in a sippy cup during meals to encourage hydration. Remember that each baby is unique, and preferences can vary. Pay attention to your baby's cues and adjust the portion sizes accordingly. If you have specific concerns or questions about your baby's diet, consult with your pediatrician for personalized guidance.
