Hello, I have recently started weaning my baby with cerelac n rice + dal water. With which food,fruit should i start next ? I plan to start with dal bhat completely smashed. Request you to kindly suggest me some prepartions. my baby is 5 1/2 months old and is on breastmilk completely. Aafreen replied. Hi ketaki,

I would suggest that u shld start with veg purree first. Start with carrots steamed/ boiled and purreed c if it suits ur baby keep a 4 days gap in tryin new things. Then start with a fruit say banana or apple or pear again boiled and purreed banana need not be boiled just smashed or purreed u can mix a little bit of breastmilk or formula to it. The start with another veg say french beans...and keep introducing new things. once she is 6 mnts u can start kichdi of rice and green moong dal. I dont kow which dal u would use in dalbaat. Spilt moong dal is easily digestable so u can start with that. My baby followed this schedulae when she was 6 1/2 mnt
Morning breakfast: rice cereal/oats (alternate days)
Mid morning: fuits (apple/banana/pear)
Lunch: khichdi with veg purree / suji with veg purree
Evening: milk with rusk biscuits
Dinner : veg purree
u can try these veg: (carrots/frnech beans/ beats/potatoes/ green peas)
Hope this answered ur quieries.

Regards
