Hi All, My daughter is 6 months old. She is just 6kg. My paediatrician told she is under weight. I have started with nestum rice during 5th month. And now I need your advice in feeding habit for my baby. What solid foods and fruits can be given at 6th month.?

Hi, See, firstly, I must share with you that you must not give grain in any form to your baby till she turns one or more because babies till this age do not have an enzyme that is required to digest grain. And since your baby is 6 month old you can give her solids and can make her eat anything from cheese, minced chicken in chicken soup, vegetables, a spoon of ghee in her dal, all pulses but majorly that are easy to digest. Eggs are rich in nutrients and you should give her egg daily. Give her banana, gram, nuts after grinding them, oats, whole wheat, all fruits etc. http://blog.cincinnatichildrens.org/healthy-living/how-to-increase-calories-in-your-underweight-child/ http://indianhealthyrecipes.com/best-foods-weight-gain-babies-toddlers/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/521263-what-can-i-feed-my-underweight-8-month-old/ Hope this will be of help.
