I'm a mom of 6 mnths old girl, can anyone pls let me know apart from milk & cerelac what other solid food can i give her from now on....??? Hetal replied. go for all the single grain cereals one by one, starting from rice,oatmeal and then barley and later millet.no wheat before 1 year or atleast 9months complete.

i would not recommend giving potato,instead give sweet potato.
watever you give, give it overboiled in pressure cooker or overcooked and fine puree form.
in fruits start with apple,pear, peaches(if they are overriped, boiling is not required but its recommended to be on safe side), all pressure cooked,pureed, seived thru thin mesh, to obtain smooth & fine puree.

also same with vegetables as well, add in carrots, green beans, green peas,lauki,spinach,

after all this,give cauliflower,brocolli,potato in the last lines.
banana does not require cooking, but make sure it is an overriped banana and nicely mashed..please note that pressure cooked banana or boiled banana loses iron and imp calories that your baby needs right now.over riped banana is just right for starters and later on you can graduate them to regular ripen fruits.

by the time your baby is 9months come to a point that he is eating atleast 5 diff colour fruits and 5 diff colour vegies, which means introducing & including a variety of these fresh produce every week. watch for allergies, stomach upset, and constipations..

also, add in once you give all this, then only start with potatp,cauliflower, brocolli,berries and melons,or ne squash and last comes in the line are the citrus fruits.

no salt, or sugar is required at introducing solids, until your baby is able to eat them without ne fuss...

also no 100% juice is required for babies below 1 year,,if at all ne signs of constipation seen, give diluted juice in proportion of 1freshjuice:4water for 6months old and give it with cereal and not seperately.

good luck !

Elsa replied. I give the following solids to my 6 months old and he seems to love all these.

1.carrot & beans cooked and pureed served with a little bit of ghee.
2. Apple and pear, pealed,cooked, and pureed
3. Potato pressure cooked added to spinach cooked separately for shorter duration, pureed.
4. Banana, steamed and pureed

I am planing to give Pappaya next week.

I use a blender to puree them. No salt, No sugar. For btter taste and consistancy I add a bit of his formula milk or sometimes cerelac if the puree got too watery. I gave each of these for one whole week without giving aynything else other than cerelac. Didn't observe any allergy. If you try these, let me know how your kid takes it.
