POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy8 months agoA. You can introduce idli to your 8-month-old baby as it is soft, easily digestible, and nutritious. Here's how to do it:
When to Introduce:
Idli is ideal from 8 months onwards as your baby may already be eating solids like porridge, purees, and mashed foods.
How to Serve:
1. Plain Idli:
Start with small pieces of soft idli without spices or chutney.
Mash it with a little breast milk, formula, or warm water to make it easier to swallow.
2. Vegetable Idli:
Once your baby accepts plain idli, you can add pureed or finely grated vegetables like carrots, spinach, or pumpkin to the idli batter.
3. Dal and Idli:
Mash the idli with dal (lentil soup) for added protein and flavor.
Tips:
Avoid adding salt or sugar to the idli batter, as babies under 1 year do not need them.
Introduce one new food at a time and wait 3–5 days to monitor for allergies or intolerance.
Serve it fresh and warm for better taste and digestion.
