momoflittle replied. Hey...

Here is what I got from one of the hetal' s post. She will reply to when ever she finds time. Till then u can use this.

offer in line as below/boiled/strained/pureed or mashed with fork/spoon :
vegetables :
1. carrots,
2. winter squash//squash //if not available, replace here tender sweet corn (boiled, mashed,strained)
3. green beans ///check for gas,,add in a lil sprinkle of hing while pressure cookng them,,it will avoid gas probs.
4. sweet potatoes & corn
5. spinach or ne indian vegetables,,lauki/gourd, boiled brocolli,,or ne other,,,start introducng after this,all kind of vegetables,,

Fruits:
1. applesauce.
2. bananas
3. peaches
4. pears.
5. prunes or apricots///one high fibr fruit,mostly by this time your baby will be eating barley cereal, oatmeal and rice all tgoether or in all feeds,,and all these iron fortified cereals might cause mild constipatn.
and after all of the above,,once introduced,,one per week or a fruit/vegie lets say 3-4days,,,introduce your child with cauliflower, potato(as far as your baby likes sweet potato,,make sure to offer that first ! and avoid potato, until 9months),

along with all these,,goes single grains, combinations of single grains with diff combinations of vegies and fruit medleys..
whatever you offer,,offer boiled with skin,, strained, pureed or mashed with fork acc to prefrnces of texture by your child,,..

for all this,,,make sure that your child balances his diet with proper foods, proper combinations and proper fibr,,so as to ensure good health.
expect loss of apetite, lack of int in foods during teething, prelimnry signs of ne illness to strike, child in need of change in texture, flavours(add in mild spices gradually along with the foods,,esp indian ones),shapes(make it funny and appealing),,and colours(when you start finger foods,make sure to make the plate with diff colours of vegies or fruits)...
make sure to cross check for ne rashes, stomach discomforts,,whenever a new food is introduced and make sure he is comfortable eating tht food in its original taste(avoid salt or ne other additive in startng,,add ins if you like after 1 week of introducng the new foods,,,)
good luck..this all should help you plan your child diet until 1 year !
