Need Help To Start Solid For 7 Months Old Baby

I have no idea what it is. But it should be good if they say so. You can opt for it based on the ingredient list it has.

I shall give the list of what solids I started to my kids.

• Fruit purees - Boiled apple, Papaya, mashed Banana etc
• Vegetable Puree- Boiled Carrot, potato, sweet potato
• Rice Rava cooked with ghee - Soak rice and dry them spreading on a cloth, dry roast and grind in a mixie to fine rava. Cook this rava normally and feed it with Ghee (till 8-9 months, No dal...Just rava)
• Dal and Rice Rava - Same procedure as above for rice rava and for Dala rava- cook both together and feed with ghee.
• Ragi (salt/sweet) - Mix ragi in small glass of water to avoid lumps and add it to boiling water and cook it till concentrated.Add pinch of salt if your kid likes it or pinch of patika bellam/candy sugar if kid prefers it to be sweet.

Will add if i remember anything else

 

I will be following this thread also. My son is about to turn 7 months in two days and he is not liking solid food. Our pediatrician said do rice cereal mixed with breast milk once a day then after two weeks add a veggie puree meal then add a fruit puree meal. Baby only eats a tiny bit of the rice cereal and doesn't poop for two days. The only thing he has seemed to like was tomato chutney from a dosa. I don't know what to do to get him eating solids!

 

What should I feed my 10 month old son . Some say I should ensure that I don’t give him anything with added salt or sugar as it will affect his kidneys . Where as in some forums they say they feed their child food which adults eat like dal etc ! I am confused.

 

I used to take out a portion of dal before adding salt and spices. You can also give steamed and mashed vegetables without any salt or seasonings. Also yogurt.

 

Thank you Malstrom , for your prompt response. We feed him oat meal with organic low fat yogurt ( total sugar6g ) once a day and store bought organic veggies mashed for babies twice a day besides milk . How should I now do it going forward.

 

That’s great. You can also give mashed cooked chickpeas, lentils, black beans, greens and fruits.I used to put out a plate of cooked peas and corn removed from the cob when my baby started reaching for foods. When she started teething we got one of those mesh bags and put chunks of fruit/berries inside it so she could safely gnaw on it.

 

Thanks Malstrom . Will definitely try it out .
