n veggies avacado,sweet patato
then cereals mashed rice n dal with veggies or fruits.

anyone know when to introduce citrus fruits to baby?

gauri Sweety replied. Dear Sheeja,
i cook 1 apple and use for 3 days. Actually i mix this in cereal. so that way he wil have one fruit and one veggie every day. we can't cook less than that yar otherwise we won't be able to mash it. he gets constipated with apple and also carrots.

i give 2-3 tb spoon cereal and little friuts and mix in formula in the morning.
he doesn't eat more than this yar.
its depend on apetite ...so don't worry ...if she likes then give her or u can ask her ped:)

hey im from Rajasthan:)

krish is crying yar..
will write more

Anitha replied. Hi,

This is what i give for laya...

1/2 apple in morning around 10...and 1/4 thapple mixed in rice aroun 2.and 1/4 apple in vening around 5.30..

For apple...I give laya 1/2 and I peel the skin and put it in water and boil it...boil it till nice flavor comes and it becomes really soft..then take it out and mash it...and feed her..

For rice..whatever is cooked for us, i take a spoon or two and add some more water to it..and boil it in a low flame till it is soft...ileave little water in it and mash t using a wooden thing...used for mashing dals...and mash it to a paste and mix apple in it...

I also give grapes 1 or 2...skin peled n mashed..
next week am plannign to give carrots to her..

Anitha Sweety replied. Hi Sheeja,
Yep..i started homemade food.
i don't give gerber food at home. when we go out then i give him gerber.
i mix apple in the cereal and he loves that. what u have to do boil in pressur cooker an dgrin it with blender. this colour is really different than gerber applesauce.
i m thinking to give him peach, pear ...mix with cereal.

at evening i give him veggeie...u can make all at home like apple.

i m thinking to start khichdi...i tell u how to make it.
take rice and moong dal ..cook in pressure cooker with some salt and tumeric powder and water. then u can grind it and add some sugar and ghee.

roast suzi(rawa) in little ghee and in india people use milk but i think we can add formula..and sugar.its kind of kheer:)

u can give dal rice.

take some roasted cracked wheat and moong dal and put some salt water and cook in pressure cooker. then grind it.

right now i know these things yar..when i would i know more i let u know:)

u know i tried gerber apple juice but he didn't like it.Krish does backward crawling but he sits on the floor by putting hands on the floor.
today i m going to cook sweet potato for evening and dal rice for night. let see how it works.

how is trisha?
bye..
