A. An 8 months old baby should be given 3 solid meals and atleast 2 sessions of breast feeding or formula feeding. So you are doing just fine. Give all home cooked meals and add little bit of home made ghee to your baby's food. Fruits like apples, Bananas, papaya, chikoo, kiwi, strawberries, pomegranates etc can be given. Introduce vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, green peas, pumpkin etc into his or her diet. Tofu or paneer made out of soy milk or cow's milk can be given. Give cheesy potatoes and sweet potatoes. Give one boiled egg yolk per day. Yoghurt made from cow's milk should be given.
