mommy Hetal replied. m fine, thanks you !
start chappati soaked in dal or the dal that is made for family,,,start introducing your baby with family foods,,once a while add your food with her food and see how she accepts the spice level,,accordingly, reduce it..sometimees it willbe acceptance of garlic foods and not onion one,,sometimes it will be masala foods but not the chilli ones,,sometimees it will be delicious food and not mild foods,,sometimes he will like sweet food and sometimes,,it will be mix and match of all foods !! so keep trying,,just the right time..
yup, you can start doing tadka of jeera and curry leaves is the best.add in some hing to it !! about rye etc,,as far it crackles properly, no problemo.if you find, rye in his poop,,,your child is not reading to digest it !! otherwise,,all set.

your 8.5months old should take as below :

i dont see juices in her diet, one more mini meal is missing,,,check the posts above and you will get what all your baby is ready..therer is a reason why i see your baby is underwght,,,lack of options, missing one-2mini meals,,,

as far as developments are concerned,,he seems to be doing good,,but offer him more alternatives,juices, varieties,,and make him ready for proteins, fat/cheese/and milk byproducts,,
avoid sheera at nights,,give at night good meal of vegies and rice or dal etc,,or with chappati...

rest all is well explained in the posts above !
good luck
