peel apples - steam them, then puree them.

dal and rice -pureed - can add potato and peas too..(also pureed)

these are the safest for 6 mth old babies....

wait for few months more to add other vegetables.

If u r introducing a food for the first time, pls do so only in small quantities and only during the day time, preferably mornings....

If I  think of anything else will let u know...hope this was helpful.

hi u can hae this as a substitute...

fry boiled rice in a dry pan and also omam.. (200gms boiled rice  : 10 gms of omam) and have it grinded well...either in the machine outside or in the mixie itself... boil one spoon of the powder in water.....then add sugar very lil and add lil blue aavin milk .  You can also give this mixture without milk.  good strength for the kids and will be filling also.

Like this u can give ragi kanji also...as bailey said try small quantity in the beginning and gradually increase

good luck

Nan(powder) is a good one.Try after consulting ur doctor.Me too faced this problem..I started with Vege soup, banana, apple (as said above), dal..

first thing is tht we can experiment with food .. but if he does not lik or pukes .. don worry ..u can re introduce lil later

i wud suggest .. u can giv all veggies n fruits .. (fruits in th form of juices)and vegetables mashed..

mixed veg soup . will be great (don use ajinomotto)

cooked n mashed potato(with sugar/ jaggery (filtered) syrup)

boiled apple, banana..

bread.. (buttered, toasted) bread jam (too much of sugar delays teething)

any house made (idli, dosa, iddiyapam, appam .. avoid chapathi (it digests late)..

u can also giv rica and ragi kanji

home made sweets lik pal kesai, rava kesari..paniyaram

peeled and sliced badam.. avoid pea nuts (same digestion prob)..

carrot (raw ) it ll solace teeth pain .. same wid bread sticks

i ll again scrap or mail u .. wid other items

My son of age 5 's urine is always surrounded by ants. Is he diabetic? Bcoz my father and grandparents are diabetic. I'm not. Please help me.

If your son is otherwise fine, Urine surrounded by ants is no indication that someone is diabetic , this is quite a common feature, but because diabetes runs in families so whenever you visit your paediatrician next do discuss your family history with him so that he/she  can keep a watch.

Greetings Doctor,

Hi Natalia,

No 2 kids are same so u cannot compare him with your daughter, From what you have written, doesn’t looks like there is a problem, some kids start speaking late, so if his understanding of things and hearing is all right,don’t worry, just continue talking to him, reading to him and otherwise stimulating him and just relax and enjoy your babies!
