Food for baby after 6months

Yes finally you will be free from breastfeeding the baby everytime she/he is hungry as your doc will allow you to start you LO's food( mainly purees and liquids to start with). But then dear mom thinking about what to give to your child or cook for your child is the one of the BIG task. Yes you will have to cook sometime too and initially your Lo might not even like the taste...but that doesnt stop you from cooking with LOOOVE for your baby and experiment. So enjoy it and if the baby does not like it give that food a break and try again after 2 weeks or so.

Baby's requirement after 6m+
1. Iron
2. Vitamin C
3. Vitamin D

These three are not present in your breast milk or any formula milk(unless fortified). So its recommended to start one food at a time for the baby to include anyone of these three vit.

Things to be given as a puree(in soup or juice form)

  • Oranges
  • Beetroot soup or juice
  • Lentil soup
  • Sweetlime
  • Semolina in milk
  • Yogurt
  • Rice soup
  • Tomato soup
  • Spinach Soup (few babies might like it)

You can add salt/sugar/butter or ghee as per the taste and requirement once the baby starts liking and digesting the food.


PS: Anything new you introduce to the baby's diet , make sure you give that food to the baby for 5-6days before starting another new food . As the baby's delicate stomach needs to handle a foreign/new food give it sometime to understand and digest(getting used to it) before starting anything new.



Happy mommying
