Dear Friends
How are u all doing?
I have twin girls and started giving solids in their 5 1/2 months. I started giving rice cereals, vegetables, fruits and prunes(gerber).
Now doctor asked to me give rice and dhal..in any form....after having c section mashing with spoon is not possible for me since i have no enogh strength...can put rice and dhal and make a paste in a blender...
Can add little ghee in the food..
Is there any other good suggestion on giving other foods...if so pl. mention with the preparations...they don't like rice and dhal very much...
PL. suggest me anyother healthy food...
Any experienced mom would know better than me...
so pl. help
thanks
regards
rachel prachi replied. hi,
pls dont add honey to nay of your baby foods.honey should be added only after a year.the babies stomach cant digest honey very well.honey may contain Clostridium botulinium, which can cause botulism (with constipation,weakened sucking,poor appetite and lethargy in babies)
i will gv u more tips on food later. i m a mother of twin boys.they are also 7 mths old.
tk care,
all the best.
Prachi momtwiceover replied. Hi! My baby has the same thing with rice and dal,she doesn't like it in any form. So i try to give all vegetables,like pumpkin,potatoes,spinach,carrots,peas...cooked and mashed in a blender with a little milk added to it. Fruits like..apples,pears cooked and mashed in a blender added to banana tastes good to her . Also i give grated paneer added to either fruits or veggies. Then you can give suji cooked in ghee and whole milk with a little honey. Honey shud not be cooked but added later in the bowl. Then dalia cooked in milk and fruits like banana added to it. Biscuits soaked in milk. Custard in a not so thick consistency. Hope some of this helps. Try to add always gur[jaggery] or honey for sweetness instead of sugar.
