A. Around 6 months of age, you can start introducing solid foods to your baby while continuing breastfeeding or formula feeding. Here's a general diet plan for a 6-month-old baby: 1. Single-Grain Cereals: Begin with iron-fortified rice or oatmeal cereals mixed with breast milk or formula. Start with a runny consistency and gradually thicken it as your baby gets used to it. 2. Pureed Fruits and Vegetables: Introduce single-ingredient purees like mashed bananas, cooked and mashed sweet potatoes, or applesauce. As your baby becomes comfortable with these, you can combine different fruits and vegetables. 3. Strained or Pureed Meats: Gradually introduce pureed meats like chicken or beef for a source of protein and iron. 4. Mashed Legumes: Lentils, chickpeas, or beans can be introduced as they provide protein and fiber. 5. Small Portions: Begin with small portions and gradually increase the quantity as your baby's appetite grows. 6. Offer One New Food at a Time: Introduce new foods one at a time, waiting a few days before introducing another new food. This helps identify any potential allergies. 7. Avoid Honey: Do not give honey to a baby under one year of age as it may carry the risk of infant botulism. Always consult your pediatrician before starting solid foods to ensure your baby is developmentally ready and to get specific guidance based on your baby's needs and any potential allergies or dietary restrictions. Remember that breastfeeding or formula should still be the primary source of nutrition at this stage.
