POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. For a 7-month-old baby who is starting to explore solid foods, you can introduce a variety of mashed or pureed foods. Here are some suitable options:
1. **Vegetables**: Mashed or pureed sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, squash, pumpkin.
2. **Fruits**: Mashed or pureed apples, pears, bananas, peaches, avocados.
3. **Cereals**: Iron-fortified infant cereals (rice cereal, oatmeal) mixed with breast milk or formula.
4. **Proteins**: Pureed meats (chicken, turkey, beef), mashed beans (like lentils or chickpeas).
5. **Dairy**: Plain whole-milk yogurt or cottage cheese (if your baby is not allergic to dairy).
6. **Grains**: Cooked and mashed rice, barley, or quinoa.
Remember to introduce one new food at a time and watch for any signs of allergies or intolerance. Gradually increase the texture as your baby shows readiness by moving their tongue and trying to chew.
