POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy8 months agoA. After 6 months, you can start introducing solid foods to your baby's diet while continuing to breastfeed or formula feed. Here’s a guide:
1. First Foods to Introduce
Fruits: Mashed banana, apple puree, pear puree, mashed avocado.
Vegetables: Steamed and pureed carrot, sweet potato, pumpkin, or green peas.
Cereals/Grains: Iron-fortified rice cereal, oats, or moong dal (lentils) puree.
Proteins: Mashed and well-cooked lentils, dal water, or small portions of egg yolk (if there's no allergy concern).
2. Consistency
Start with purees or semi-solid foods.
Gradually move to thicker textures as your baby adjusts.
3. Frequency
Start with one small meal per day.
Gradually increase to 2-3 meals per day along with breast milk or formula.
4. Food Ideas
Single-Ingredient Foods: Introduce one food at a time, wait 3-5 days before introducing another to check for allergies.
Combination Foods (After 1-2 Weeks): Rice and dal khichdi, apple and carrot puree, or oats with mashed banana.
5. Hydration
Offer small sips of water (boiled and cooled) with meals to help digestion.
6. Avoid These Foods
Cow’s milk (until 12 months).
Salt, sugar, and honey (until 12 months).
Nuts, seeds, or hard foods that pose a choking hazard.
