Timetable to feed 1.6 yr old baby

ssubhasr · Dec 23, 2009

Hi all

Though its a very old topic....am new to this....

Sahana is 1 yr and 6 months old baby. So far the timetable for her is as follows :

Break Fast

I brought some Kanji powder (its a mix of boiled rice, pottukadalai, jeera & badaam) from India for my baby's breakfast. I use to mix 3 table spoons with water, salt and boil the same & finally add ghee. She likes this very much.

But its been 2 months since we came to US and the kanji powder is going to completer...will come only for another couple of days. After that What shall i give her for breakfast ? I dont know about the American break fast items which we can give to a 1.6 yr old baby. We are pure vegeterian. Pl suggest some break fast for my baby. I have also tried dosa & idly which she will take only for couple of days. Pl suggest some healthy break fast for her.

Lunch :

Dhal Rice with potato / carrot

Evening Snaks

Mixed fruit / vanilla flavoured yougurt with banana

Dinner :

We use to eat chappathis, and she also want to eat on her own like us. so she will be taking chapathis.

Is the above timetable sounds good ?

Hi Subha,

My son is 18 months old...this is our daily menu(mostly)

8 AM - organic whole milk with dates syrup

Breakfast at around 9 -9.30 - oats cereal with gerber veg/fruit puree( my son still doesn't take fruits as it is so sticking on to gerber)

mid morning snack - marie or parle-G biscuits..he is getting bored with this..can anyone post recipe for healthy home made cereal bars/granola bars?

Lunch(1-1.30) - rice with dhall and veggies(potato,carrot or beetroot)

evng (4.30) - raagi porridge/rice porridge with milk and banana

dinner(8 pm) - whatever we eat for dinner... like rasam rice/upma/dosa/pasta

bedtime milk around 10 pm

subha, you can easily make that kanji powder that you are giving to your daughter now....just dry roast par boiled rice,moong dhall,pottu kadalai,badam and jeera...allow it to cool and powder it finely in mixie..this is how i do it....also try oats upma with veggies/oats porridge for breakfast...they need variety i use quakers quick cooking oats to prepare oatmeal for my son.cook it with milk and mix with some fruit puree....
