Is my son having a wholesome diet?

Deepas · Jan 1, 2009

Hi All,

My son is 8 months old. I am worried if what iam feeding is sufficient nutritionally. Following is the way iam feeding him

6 AM - formula milk
8.30 AM - Idli
11.30 AM - vegetable + dal kanji
2.30 PM - Milk Kanji
5.30 PM - fruit with formula milk
7.30 PM - Milk kanji
10 PM - Formula milk

Can anyone pls let me know if I need to introduce any other stuff?
I am actually confused what to select and how to plan the diet from so many recipes.:-( It would be really helpful if someone could share the time table they follow for a 8 month old in a day and its receipe...

Thanks,
Deepa.

Hi Pragadha,

Thanks for the reply. Actually the kanji Iam giving him is made of powdered rice only.
Doctor had asked me to wait till 10 months before starting raw rice.
