Hey Aarti,

Since u have helped me so much can u pls tell me that in india what do we give for snack time of baby...like here i give gerber deserts ..pudding,fingerfoods...etc.Also i mix little gerber fruit or vege in his cereal,,,whats the alternative to this...for diff flavours ? Aarti replied. Bela,

It depends on the age of your baby. How old is your baby? I spent 5 months in India when my son was between 5-10 months.

Snack time: I do not have any experience with Gerber puddings/desserts. I only used the pureed fruits or veges when I was on the go in the US.
In India or US, I gave the following types of snacks between 7-10 months:
- pressure cooked fruit like apple, pear
- mashed banana/papaya/mango (one or in combo)
- like you, cereal mixed with fruit
- mix fruit and yogurt in a blender and give it as a thick smoothie
- Rusk in India (called Zwieback toast in the US) softened with milk
- Gerber finger foods (only in US)

Foods on the go: In India I used Gerber on the train/plane. My folks didn't let me take him for outings in the city! He was fed solids only at home. But I am sure you can manage with Gerber bottles (which you will find easily in Mumbai). The bottles were available but I did not find the Gerber finger cookies. You can take some from the US.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any more help.
