Soups are great for babies, specially this one, it has lots of veggies packed in one. Just give a small bowl of this in the evening and your baby will feel full and you will feel happy!
Maha started her 11th month and my pediatrician told to give whatever we eats. But i am kind of concerned so i dont feed her everything. I still keep her food under my control. 7.00 to 7:30 AM : These days she wakes up so early, i just dont want to feed her heavy early itself. So as soon as she wakes up, i give her a bisuit, it is milk bikis. 8.15 to 8.30 AM: This time i give her appam, idiyappam, dosa, rava idli, oats idli. Whatever i make for breakfast. Somedays i make chapati so she wont be eating this since it is little hard for her to chew. Those days i give her Nestum mixed with warm water. After having breakfast she plays and sleeps inbetween she has lots of water, fruit sticks or some snacks. She sleeps at 11.00 AM. She only wakes up around 1.00 PM. 1.00 to 1.30 PM: This is the time which we have lunch so she loves to join us. I give her dal rice, spinach rice, sambar rice without much spice, curd rice, milk rice and it is clearly rice meal for her lunch. After lunch, she plays a lot and takes a lot of water or breast milk. 3.00 to 3.30 PM : I make sure she have some kind of purees like apples sauces, carrot puree or any juices at this time. During winter i just give her vegetables puree and not fruits. You can give her mashed bananas at this time or egg yolk. But maha was bored with egg yolk now so i give her bananas or any fruits. 5.30 to 6.30 PM : It is strictly her health mix porridge or ragi porridge. I sweeten them with palm sugar, jaggery or panangkarkandu. After this she sleeps a little, somedays she sleeps or some day we will be taking her out so she wont sleep and enjoy the outing. 8.00 to 8.30 PM : I give her something light like idli, dosa, idiyappam or it will be nestum mixed with warm water. Inbetween these schedule in keep on feeding her mother feeding. I didn't give formula milk because she didn't like it, mother feeding is what i prefer. And after 9.00 PM i dont feed any solid foods, i feed her mother feeding only. I feed her lots of water.
Rice & Dals makes a great first food for babies, since it is rich in carbs and protein. I will share many of my variations in including these in your babies diet..
