POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. A balanced diet for a 16-month-old Indian baby typically includes:
1. **Breast Milk or Formula:** Continue to provide breast milk or formula as the primary source of nutrition.
2. **Cereals and Grains:** Introduce rice, wheat, oats, and other grains in the form of soft porridge or chapatis.
3. **Fruits:** Offer a variety of fruits, such as bananas, apples, pears, and mashed berries. Ensure they are cut into small, manageable pieces.
4. **Vegetables:** Include cooked and mashed vegetables like carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, and spinach. Ensure they are soft and easy to chew.
5. **Proteins:** Include protein sources like well-cooked and finely chopped chicken, lentils, dal, or paneer.
6. **Dairy:** Offer whole milk and dairy products like yogurt and cheese for calcium and healthy fats.
7. **Fats:** Include healthy fats like ghee and vegetable oils in moderation.
8. **Snacks:** Provide snacks like small pieces of cheese, boiled eggs, or homemade snacks made from healthy ingredients.
9. **Avoid Sugary and Processed Foods:** Limit the intake of sugary snacks, candies, and processed foods.
Always consult with your pediatrician for personalized advice based on your baby's specific needs and development.
