Hi Hetal,

I hope you are in pink health :)

Hetal, I wanted to give dry fruits for my 20months old daughter.
I used to give her Raagi/Wheat kheer for BF with some crushed dry furits(badam, cashes - put them while boling the kheer so they cook well)
But now-a-days she doesn' t like any kheer and want cereals!! I am thinking of roasting dry fruits and then make it powder and add it to her milk!!
What do u think?? will it get digested??

Plz give your thoughts/suggestions. I noticed major wt gain with dry fruits so want to start as early as possible.
Rt now she is 22 pounds, BW was 7.6pounds

Thanks much,

Shilpa. Hetal replied. yes you can give,start with roasted walnuts first, thn goes almonds, thn goes cashews....introduce one by one,,so that ne rash occurs you know which one caused it.
rest all is fine..as far its not heavy and this pwder or mixture doesnt make him skip his meals,,she is accepting it well...
after offerng,,check his bowels/diapers for next 2days,,ne undigested particle,means your child is not yet ready..alterntly, you can try cooked dry fruits and see if thats acceptble ! cook almnds etc with skin,,,rest all fine, as far she is able to digest it without skipng the next meal !
avoid offerng dry fruits afternoon onwards,,offer as breakfast,brunch or lunch.

good luck !
