Hi

I need advice on what fruits ( and in what form) can I offer to my 8 and half months old daughter.
Presently she eats mashed banana and boiled/pureed apple. But she hates eating the apple.
Also I need advice on starting suji ki kheer for her.
All your suggestions will be highly valuable.

Warm Regards

Try making the suji kheer of very thin consistency, almost like water. If she likes it she might even stop gagging on it :) Reema replied. i am lurking here from past 2-3days to get some ideas for my daughter.

i just started solids for her so i have saved some of the links for my reference.it is having all diet tips from 6months to 11months.

this is such an informative site. i loved it and i am impressed.
you can also browse through some old messages by hitting the NEXT 50 TOPICS button which is on the bottom of the page.don' t miss the ones answered by Hetal.you will love to read the inform.

btw, i pressure cook vegetables and fruits as per my doc advice. dks replied. One more thing. Try not to boil any of her fruits or vegetables. Steam them or bake them in the oven. Cause you lose out on the nutrients if u boil the food.

And you can also give mashed potatoes with cheese and milk.
This is how i make it and my son loves it-
Bake the potatoe in the oven with the skin on. The scoop out the potatoe and in a fry pan, add little butter, throw in the potatoes little cheddar cheese, and milk (to make it a slightly thin consistency), and just mix these things together and serve. dks replied. HI Neha,

At 8 months my son was eating steamed/mashed pears,mangoes (MASHED), melon(MASHED), sometimes grapes without skin and seed and oranges.But go slow with the citrus fruits.

For the suji kheer you an start with that aslo. You can also give him suji upma with vegetables , rice kheer.

You can also give him dalia- sweet with gur or fruits- my son really likes it with the fruits in it. I usually just add apples and pears.
Or you can prepare the dalia with vegetables and a little salt.

Hope this helps.
Ofcourse take it slow and look out for any discomfort in your baby.

Good luck
