hi!!! my baby is 9 months old and i donot know what to feed..i m giving only daal ka pani and khichri..please, suggest some recepies for her... shirley replied. PLEASE do not give your child honey before the age of 1 - it will cause botulism poisoning and it is highly fatal. Try giving her cereals and mashed up veggies along with the formula or if you are breastfeeding. radha replied. Hello,
You can give cooked ric ewith dhal,ghee,salt at first ,it should be fully mashed and then you can start adding vegetables cooked ,you can try giving idli with honey or ghee depending upon how the baby can diggest,first start with half tea spoon and then increase the quantity.donot stop giving milk even though you give solid foods.i hope my suggested would help you.bye Vanita replied. First thing - search the net for virtually 100s of receipes...whats important is
a) the food should ideally have different textures to interest her - grainy but dry like pounded nuts, flaky & moist like 'poha', grainy paste like khischri, dry paste like ragi porridge and wet paste like cereals/khischri, fresh fruit juices or shakes. Also, make sure they make her 'try' biting & chewing.
b) make sure it tastes well, taste it yourself before you feed her
c) try to balance her diet over the day

This is the right age for finger food like rusks, fried potato fingers, sliced & peeled tomatos por fruits liek apple/banana/papaya..let her learn to hold and eat - its ok if she makes a mess!!

Avoid carrots/cucumbers and such finger food which she may bite and get potentially choked on.

Most importantly, consult your paediatrician, and brush her teeth!!! ss replied. Hi,
Have you tried the baby cereals.
I guess Khichri is rice & daal mix.
Can add some cut vegetables to it.
can add well cooked spinach also in her khichri.
If she likes rice with yogurt,then it is great!.
After she is one year old may be you should try to give her egg,boiled or scrambled, however she likes it.
