Hi,

My baby girl has just turned 6 months.

Can you pls suggest what i can add in her daily food routine, which is now

morning 8.30 - give her formula milk
after 3 hrs - gerber rice cereal - 6 scoops
after 3-4 hrs - formula milk
after 3 hrs - cerelac wheat cereal with apple mashed and mixed
after 2-3hrs - formula milk

plz let me know if i can add foods like dals, dal rice and other things in her daily routine as above.
Also tell me what are veggies i can give her in what form?
will be very helpful, if anyone can suggest what new things or varieties i can add in her above routine.

Thank you,

Even my son is 6 month old. His paed asked me start Dal and vegetable as soon as he turns 6 month. No rice yet. I mix dal with morning cereal and vegetable with evening cereal. I started Sweet potato as first vegetable. Steam it and mash the vegetable. Also I started steamed apple as his evening snack. Rest all breast feed for him. Though his paed said I can add little salt to taste, I am not adding anything right now.
