POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 7 m old boy1 Year agoA. For a 6-month-old baby, you can introduce simple and easily digestible Indian foods following the introduction of solids. Start with:
1. **Rice Cereal:**
- Rice cereal is a good first food. Cook rice until soft and blend it with water or breast milk to make a smooth puree.
2. **Dal (Lentil) Soup:**
- Mild lentil soup with well-cooked and mashed lentils. Start with a small amount and gradually increase.
3. **Mashed Vegetables:**
- Mashed and well-cooked vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, or peas.
4. **Apple Puree:**
- Cook and puree apples, removing the skin, to make a smooth applesauce.
5. **Banana Puree:**
- Mashed ripe bananas are easy to digest and provide natural sweetness.
Always introduce one new food at a time and wait a few days before introducing another to monitor for any allergies. Ensure the food is finely pureed or mashed to avoid choking. Consult your pediatrician for personalized advice based on your baby's needs and development.
