Suggest healthy diet for baby
Patient: My daughter is 5 months and 20 days...now am giving home made raggi twice a day.....am giving 4 to 6 table spoons at morning and evening am confused please advice me....what can i give her in the noon....can i give cerealac...some people says it cause phlegm please help me Doctor: Hello,          You should introduce food items in your daughter's diet gradually. You can give her mashed banana, chikoo; puréed vegetables like pumpkin, carrot; daal soup; sooji; raagi; steamed apple, pear; khichdi and other home made foods. Introduce one food item once every 5 - 7 days. This will help you in identifying if your child is allergic to any particular food. You can give cerelac occasionally but as it is a processed product do not use it on a regular basis. It is always preferable to use fresh home made stuff for babies.           Hope you find this helpful.Regards,Preeti
