At six months, babies are ready to start solids alongside breastmilk or formula. Traditional Indian foods are gentle, nutritious, and easy to digest, making them perfect for this stage. These meals are rich in essential nutrients like iron, calcium, and healthy fats, supporting growth and development while introducing babies to a variety of flavours.
Made by cooking rice and blending it into a smooth, runny texture, rice cereal is easy to digest and provides energy from carbohydrates.
Light and protein-rich, moong dal, cooked until soft and mashed, helps in muscle growth and keeps the tummy full.
Rich in calcium and iron, ragi helps strengthen bones and supports healthy weight gain; it can be cooked soft and slightly sweetened with fruit puree.
Soft-cooked carrots, pumpkin, or sweet potato mashed to a fine consistency provide vitamins, fibre, and natural sweetness.
Suji cooked with water or milk into a smooth porridge offers energy, easy digestion, and can be flavoured lightly with mashed fruits.
