A. Introducing iron-rich foods to your baby is important for their growth and development. Here are some iron-rich Indian foods suitable for babies: 1. **Lentils (Dal):** Lentils are an excellent source of iron. Offer well-cooked and mashed dal. 2. **Spinach (Palak):** Cooked and pureed spinach is rich in iron. You can mix it with other foods like rice or dal. 3. **Ragi (Finger Millet) Porridge:** Ragi is a good source of iron. You can prepare a porridge by cooking ragi flour with water or milk. 4. **Jaggery:** Jaggery is a traditional sweetener rich in iron. You can add small amounts to your baby's diet after they start consuming solid foods. 5. **Beetroot Puree:** Beetroots are high in iron. Steam and puree beetroot for a nutritious addition to your baby's diet. 6. **Meat Puree:** If your baby has started on non-vegetarian foods, pureed meats like chicken or lamb are excellent sources of iron. 7. **Paneer (Cottage Cheese):** Paneer is a good source of protein and iron. Mash or grate it for your baby. 8. **Fortified Cereals:** Introduce iron-fortified cereals suitable for your baby's age. Remember to consult with your pediatrician before introducing new foods, especially if there are any concerns about your baby's iron levels. Iron absorption can be enhanced by offering vitamin C-rich foods along with iron-rich meals.
