A. Introducing weight-gaining foods for a 9-month-old Indian baby can help support healthy growth. Here are some nutritious options to consider: 1. **Homemade Cerelac:** You can prepare a homemade cerelac by blending rice, lentils, and various vegetables. It's rich in carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins. 2. **Khichdi:** A well-cooked khichdi made from rice and dal (lentils) with added vegetables like carrots, peas, and potatoes is a nutritious and easy-to-digest option. 3. **Ghee:** Adding a small amount of homemade ghee to your baby's meals can provide healthy fats and extra calories. 4. **Avocado:** Mashed avocado is a nutrient-dense food rich in healthy fats, vitamins, and calories. 5. **Banana:** Bananas are a good source of natural sugars and can be mashed or served in small pieces. 6. **Sweet Potatoes:** Boiled and mashed sweet potatoes are a great source of complex carbohydrates and vitamins. 7. **Paneer (Cottage Cheese):** Paneer can be grated or mashed and added to dishes for extra protein and calories. 8. **Moong Dal:** Moong dal is easily digestible and can be included in soups, purees, or khichdi. 9. **Full-Fat Yogurt:** Plain, full-fat yogurt is a good source of healthy fats and protein. Avoid adding sugar to it. 10. **Fruit Purees:** Offer a variety of fruit purees like apple, pear, and papaya. 11. **Boiled Eggs:** If your child has no allergies, you can introduce boiled and mashed eggs for added protein. 12. **Ragi (Finger Millet):** Ragi porridge is a nutritious option packed with vitamins and minerals. 13. **Oats:** Prepare oat porridge with milk to provide fiber and energy. Always ensure that the food is age-appropriate, well-cooked, and mashed or pureed to match your baby's ability to eat solids. Introduce new foods gradually and pay attention to any potential allergies. It's also advisable to consult with a pediatrician or a nutritionist for personalized guidance on your baby's dietary needs and to monitor their growth and development.
