hi,

my baby is 18 months old but she is having only 2 lower teeths.so i give her semi solid food as she is not able to chew n throw out.i give her khicadi, upma,biscuits dipped in milk,fruits gratted one.

she is too bore to eat all these things n refuses to eat now. i cant give her roti or bread or other solid food because of her teeth.now i wonder what to give her.

can anybody suggest some good salty recipes that i can give to my baby.

she is not fond of sweet food

thanks
sonu Shelly replied. Firstly Salt is bad for everyone, let alone salty foods for infants. It clogs arteries, can cause heart problems as well as blood pressure problems. Only use very little salt to taste. Salt is NOT a necessity!
Secondly at 18mo she can eat anything you eat, but you stated she only has two lower teeth. As for protein from meets you can give her gerber babyfood meats like chicken, turkey, they even have chicken sticks which are very soft and she can gum those. Any types of other foods that can be mashed or pureed she can have. Daal, mashed veggies, soups, cheese you can melt and add to her soups. Hope this helps some.

mommy replied. cheese ,chicken soup, tomato soup, any vegetable soup with a little cheese.

mashed idli, daal, you can also give her your daily vegetable after cokking. Just run it under water in a basket so the spices are wahsed off.
