First solids in an Indian kitchen
How much puree at 6 months?
In the TinyBloomy meal plan, start with 2-3 teaspoons. The most in those first days is about 2-3 tablespoons. Milk is still the meal. Solids are for learning.
One new food
Offer one new food for 3-4 days before you add another. Watch for rash, vomiting, diarrhea, or discomfort.
Texture
Very smooth puree, almost drinkable. If your baby gags or struggles, go thinner and try again after a few days.
What to offer first
Carrot, pumpkin, sweet potato, or steamed apple, one at a time. No salt, sugar, honey, or spices. Sit and supervise.
If your baby is not ready
Sitting with support, good neck control, opening the mouth for food. If that is not there yet, wait, even if the calendar says 6 months.
