INTRODUCING YOUR BABY WITH SOLID FOOD

Most of the Mom’s are worried when taking a decision about their child. When your child shows eagerness to eat, most of the mom thinks is this the correct time to introduce my child with these food.

Most of the mom starts feeding their child with outside food from the age of 5 to 6 months. This is the correct time to add some outside food along with breast feeding and formula milk. The best option of food to start with, is cerelac. Cerelac is a form of instant cereals. It is highly nutritious and easily-digested instant cereals. It is available in market in different flavors and with different components, like rice and honey, rice and wheat, rice and Dal, wheat and milk and so on. They can even be prepared at home.

Introduction of new food to your child might be tough. Some children from the very beginning likes food of different taste, for them introduction of new food will be quite easy. Some kids are bit fussy about eating, they might not like the new taste in the beginning. But don’t loose hope, keep trying and your child will be used to new taste in a few days.

When ever you plan to introduce a new food, keep in mind that your child is healthy and not sick at that time or it might a longer time for him to adapt the new taste. Another important point to keep in mind is that introduce a single food at a time. Observe that your child is not allergic to it and is able to digest it.

Once your child is used to of this food, you can introduce him with mashed, blended fruits and vegetables. Start them with smaller proportion and increase as they start liking them. This would give them to adjust and get used to different taste as well as get enough nutrition to their growing body.
