Pediatrician,  's  Response
Give the child a rice based diet prepared by boiling together with pulses and vegetables and then mashing them up. You may add chicken and eggs but in mashed form. You may give fruits in grated or mashed form - no need to boil them. Biscuits or other cereal based foods may be given in mashed or softened form. Gradually increase the frequency of such foods to 6-8 times a day. I would not comment on the amount. You can gradually increase it to 8-12 ounces per meal. These items are more nutritive than formula like cerelac and so I would not prefer cerelac or such preparations and hence am not commenting on their quantity. Continue breast milk upto 1 year of age. No other milk needs to be given but is optional. Curd or yogurt is good and may be given.
