Weaning Of An Infant!

Hi dear parents, congrats to the parents that your infant is getting ready to take solid food. Its always doubtful for mothers when to start weaning i.e. when to start solid food to an infant.
According to Indian scenario the best time is when the baby is already 5 months old (it means baby has already completed 5 months and 6th month has started) and the appropriate food would be at the beginning, rice based diet and fruits. Mothers feed (breast milk) should be continued and you can first begin with boiled mashed apples, bananas usual small types and go on with rice based khichidi, pongal, idli etc.
Slowly start with single vegetable a day boiled mashed (dont mix several vegetables at a time) after rice slowly start adding wheat and ragi.
For non-vegetarians start egg yolk mixed with rice by seven months then after few days the white protein can also be given. Mutton soup and minced meat also after 7 months.

Things not be done.
1) dont start cow milk.
2) dont give buiscuits, bread, cakes, they are maida based and very unhealthy.
3) dont use sugar or salt till ten months. After 10 months you can use jaggery, honey, and organic salt.
4) dont use mixer (mixie) to grind food. And wait for my next episode in the week end.
