Pediatrician,  's  Response
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
