Accepted Answer

At 8 months, you can introduce a variety of Indian foods to your baby, but it's important to start with soft, easily digestible options. Some suitable options include:

1. Khichdi (a mixture of rice and lentils cooked together)
2. Mashed vegetables like carrots, potatoes, pumpkin, or spinach
3. Pureed fruits like bananas, apples, or pears
4. Soft cooked grains like rice or oats
5. Yogurt (if your baby tolerates dairy)

To feed your baby, mash or puree the food to a smooth consistency, and ensure it's at a comfortable temperature. You can use a small spoon or your fingers to feed your baby, offering small amounts at a time. It's important to watch for signs of readiness and interest in food from your baby and to introduce new foods gradually to monitor for any potential allergies or sensitivities. Always consult with your pediatrician before introducing new foods to your baby's diet.
