Hey all ,

My baby is 7 months old , can i give fish and tofu to my baby , and i need some baby food recipe too .. till now im giving rice+moongdal kichadi only , i think my baby feel bored eating the same food everyday , so far i gave vegies like sweetpotato , squash , carrot , sweetpeas ... ( im giving my baby stage 3 gerber food , started from yesterday ) .. and is it okay if i give Uppuma (south indian food made from semolina ) .. shalini replied. hi geetha
upma is a great idea... u can sweeten it or add salt alternatively.. make sure to make in ghee and let the upma be a semi solid paste so that it gets easily digested by the baby.. all the best! Hetal replied. hi, okay to give upma, and kesari bhaat..also at 7months onwards, start introducing rice idli(least possible amt of urad dal),,,,
give tofu after 8months. fish, you can try, make sure to check any reactions if any. best to start fish after 8months.
avoid giving basmati rice to your baby..instead give sona masuri brand of rice, its very light in digestion and also is less gassy compared to basmati. add curry leaves if your baby likes smell !
also try mixed dal khichadi, mix all dal and add rice double amt. keep that mixture ready, instead of putting the pwder to store. whistle your cooker abit more and you will not need any mixie to blend it. add water double amt of mixture in cooker.
give mix vegetable soup,all vegies you introduced, with tadka of curry leaf,jeera pwder,hing,and let it whistle. while giving soup, offer with rice, or cereal or upma too.
mix vegie rolls, mix all veges, add in salt,add in crushed corainderr leaves,some jeera pwder,some hing, and 2 drops of lemon in whole batch, and make rolls out of it, let your baby play with it.
you can introduce single grain pastas(barley pasta, rice pasta, oatflour pastas, all available in speciality stores and some times in walmart too) at 7months, cook pasta in pressure cooker with good water, with 5-6 whistle, with a dash of oil or ghee,some salt,some italian sseasoning and your baby fav vegies,,,mesh them with hand or fork if your baby has not graduated to finger foods, and is great to start introducing finger foods.
give fruit khichadi,mooong dal, rice, apple, pear,banana,dash of cardamom,and 1 soaked raisin(u can remove raisin after the khichdi is done),,and whistle it to 5-6 and good to go..
hope this gave you some idea !
good luck


Rose replied. Geetha,

Thanks for sharing the recipe.. I did tried the same method, but i didn't get a smooth powder.. so icouldn't give it to my child..did it get fine pwd when grinding..

I have baby boy, i made him to sit when he was 6 months & now he will sit & play with the toys but if he get bored he will fall down, so i have to keep an eye on him & place pillows around him.. He is not that much confident in sitting. Don't worry everything will be okay..


I give my baby solids 3 times & morn veg, afternoon fruit & night cereal.. How abt u? Waht do u give for ur baby?

Where do u live?

take care,
Rose
