Evening Solid Food Suggestions:
Mashed Vegetables: Cook and mash soft vegetables like carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, or pumpkin.
Pureed Fruits: Offer mashed bananas, apples, or pears.
Rice or Khichdi: Cook rice or khichdi (a mix of rice and lentils) and mash it well. You can add a little ghee for flavor and nutrition.
Daal: Cook and mash lentils (dal) to introduce protein into your baby's diet.
Soft Idli or Dosa: Soft idli or dosa made from fermented rice and urad dal can also be given in small pieces.
General Tips:
Variety: Introduce a variety of foods to help your baby develop a taste for different flavors and textures.
Watch for Allergies: Introduce new foods one at a time and watch for any allergic reactions.
