POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. It's common for babies to show some resistance when starting solid foods. Here’s a general diet chart to help you introduce solids to your 6.5-month-old son:
### **Daily Feeding Schedule**
**Morning:**
- **Breast Milk/Formula:** Continue to offer breast milk or formula first thing in the morning.
**Breakfast (8:00 - 9:00 AM):**
- **Mashed Banana/Papaya:** Start with a small portion (1-2 tablespoons) of mashed banana or papaya.
- **Rice Cereal:** You can also offer rice cereal mixed with breast milk or formula.
**Mid-Morning (10:00 - 11:00 AM):**
- **Breast Milk/Formula:** Offer another feeding of breast milk or formula.
**Lunch (12:00 - 1:00 PM):**
- **Vegetable Puree:** Try a small portion (1-2 tablespoons) of well-cooked and pureed vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, or peas.
- **Fruit Puree:** You can also offer apple or pear puree.
**Afternoon (3:00 - 4:00 PM):**
- **Breast Milk/Formula:** Offer breast milk or formula.
**Evening (5:00 - 6:00 PM):**
- **Oatmeal/Ragi Porridge:** Prepare a small serving (1-2 tablespoons) of oatmeal or ragi porridge with breast milk or formula.
**Dinner (7:00 - 8:00 PM):**
- **Vegetable Puree:** Offer another small portion of vegetable puree.
- **Fruit Puree:** Add a small portion of fruit puree if desired.
**Before Bedtime:**
- **Breast Milk/Formula:** Offer a final feeding of breast milk or formula before bedtime.
### **Tips for Feeding:**
1. **Introduce One New Food at a Time:** Introduce new foods one at a time and wait for 3-5 days before introducing another to monitor for any allergic reactions.
2. **Small Portions:** Start with small portions (1-2 tablespoons) and gradually increase as your baby gets used to eating solids.
3. **Consistency:** The consistency of the food should be smooth and easy to swallow. You can gradually make it thicker as your baby gets used to eating solids.
4. **Patience:** It’s normal for babies to initially reject new foods. Keep trying and offer the same food multiple times.
5. **Hydration:** Ensure your baby is getting enough fluids. Offer small sips of water with meals if your pediatrician approves.
6. **Avoid Salt and Sugar:** Do not add salt, sugar, or honey to your baby’s food.
If your baby continues to show a lack of interest in eating solids or if you have concerns about his weight and growth, consult your pediatrician for personalized advice and guidance.
