My baby boy is turning 6 months in a week' s time. I give him solids twice a day after his 4th month . He eats rice , oatmeal cereal and some fruits like plantain, banana etc. I was wondering if it is OK to mix a little ghee or sugar with the banana to improve its taste and his calorie intake. What other foods can I offer him ? The Raagi powder that we see in grocery stores, is it the same thing that we feed babies..? And how do we prepare it? Is it fine to give him diluted whole milk that we get in the US ? How about Gerber fruit juice ? I' m totally confused as to what I should and should and shouldnt be feeding my baby..Please help.
Priya replied. When it comes to children at such a young age, one must remember that the quantity of the food is what's most important. Excess of even something beneficial can end up causing harm to the body. I will not be able to comment on sugar since I haven't tried that when my child was younger. However, I used to feed my child very small amounts of Gowardhan ghee when he was around the same age. I only stuck to that brand since it is made from pure cow’s milk and is the safest for my child. Ghee is one of the richest sources of nutrients and proteins that play an important role in the growth and development of a child at that age. Elizabeth replied. Hi Person,
Feeding such type of food is good only but the thing is it must be feeded in small quantity only. Vardhan replied. Hi Mother,
If you feel the food which you are feeding the baby is healthy then you can feed the baby with that and it would be good to have some knowledge on that before you feed for baby. Natasha replied. Hi Person,
I think it not so better to keep at this month only try to keep after one or two months because the food which you keep would easily get digested also. Datta replied. Hi Person,
What kind of problem would be raised if kids eat excess of sugar.It would lead to any health issue and trouble the parents can any one give feed back on this comment. Basu replied. Hi Parent,
It might be good for children but the thing is does it not cause any harm to baby.Find about that because i have read more taking of sugar who create some health problem. Jevitha replied. Hi Lady,
I think ghee and sugar can be given for kid at the age half year old.And it will not create any problem to kid also.You can feed happily to your kid by mixing them in food. Preethi replied. Hi Lady,
SO you have to say now either ghee can be given for all the kids when they are infants can you say that and it would be possible for all the parent that they can give their babies also so happily to their kids. lew replied. Hi Person,
So the list you have posted is good for any kid and it can be take so happily also and i would say that please do take care of all those things also and it would be the best for the children only. Mrudula replied. Hi Lady,
I think you can consult to the doctor and the you can feed the baby with what ever you can then only it would be better for the baby also i hope you would post an comment on this also.You would revert back with the comment. kajal replied. Hello Lady,
I think sweet is not so good for baby at that month and you need to confirm with any one of the people and then you can feed the baby with what ever you can i hope you would revert back with an posting of possible. Jerry replied. Hello Mother,
So you can give ghee it is good to his health also but you need to know first does he likes to eat the ghee or not then only you will come to know what would he eat and what naught also.I hope it will get success. gauri replied. u can start with say with 1/4th tsp of ragi pwdr ..dry roast it till u get smell make sure it doesnt burn..it burns very fast...remove fm fire let it cool...add cold milk mix it properly ..put back on fire...add very little sugar...stir continously...consistency should be say little thickerr than milk...dip ur finger in pure ghee thats it add this to the mixture...let it cool n gv ur baby....
gradually u can increase ur quantity n thickness too...if ur baby doesnt like the taste then drop the idea of giving ghee...
continue if ur baby likes n suites him...
i dont know about others but i gv my baby sugar ...ghee..but in less quantity..just to change the taste...i gv her whole milk ...touch wood there is no probs rupal replied. you shount give ur baby sugar....n any form...until he is a year old....and about whole milk youu can start it from 8 month.....gerbers juices are good but dont give it in bottles..use sippy cup for it..as doctors in london here says....juice from bottle can cause sum teeth problem later...
