POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. No, eggs and dosas are not suitable for a 6-month-old baby. Here's why:
1. Eggs:
- Choking hazard: Hard-boiled eggs or egg pieces can be a choking hazard for babies under 12 months.
- Allergy risk: Introducing eggs too early can increase the risk of an egg allergy.
- Nutrient imbalance: Eggs are high in protein and fat, which can lead to an imbalance of essential nutrients in a baby's diet.
2. Dosa:
- Choking hazard: Dosa batter can be too thick and sticky, posing a choking risk for babies.
- Inadequate nutrition: Dosa lacks essential nutrients like protein, iron, and calcium, which are crucial for a baby's growth and development.
For a 6-month-old baby, it's recommended to stick to breast milk or formula as the primary source of nutrition, along with introducing single-ingredient purees made from fruits, vegetables, and iron-rich foods like pureed meats or fortified cereals.
Consult your pediatrician before introducing any new foods to your baby's diet to ensure a safe and nutritious start to their eating journey!
