Baby Dal Khichdi (Lentils for Baby)

Baby Dal Recipe that’s 100% vegetarian, gluten-free and can be made vegan if you choose to. Make creamy, delicious, healthy and nutrient-rich lentil baby food at home for different stages – 0 to 4. The satisfaction & joy of feeding your baby homemade food is immense because it is clean & fresh with no additives. In this post I share how to cook dal or lentils for your baby along with plenty of time-tested tips to easily transition from smooth lentil puree to textured lentils and then to grown-up lentil food like this Dal Fry.

So after reading this post you will know how to introduce lentils to your baby, without being bloated or having any tummy issues.

About Baby Dahl

Lentils known as Dal or dahl is a staple in the Indian homes. Our regular meals include some or the other kind of lentils for almost every meal. But unfortunately your baby cannot eat the lentils you make for the grow-ups for the simple reason, baby dal should be devoid of salt, spices and oil.

So traditionally Indians follow a specific lentil diet for babies and is so much different from the grown-up version. Since babies are born with colic, it is very important to introduce lentils to baby with caution. Else both the mom and the baby end up with sleepless nights as lentils can cause stomach gas and colic.

Traditionally a lot of Indians follow the Ayurvedic diet for the baby food. So all the suggestions in this post are time-tested not only by me for my babies but also by zillion Indian families.

Which Dal to use for Baby

Moong Dal is the most commonly used lentil for babies in North India and Toor dal is most commonly used in South India. A lot of South Indians following the ayurvedic diet also use moong dal.  Because Moong dal is considered to be Tri-doshic meaning it can balance any kind of imbalances in the body and improve the health. Moong dal is also considered easy for digestion.

If you are new to identifying the lentils, I have a picture here. Moong dal are known as yellow split and skinned petite lentils or yellow mung dal.

Here is a picture of the toor dal known as split pigeon peas or tuvar dal. Red lentils, chana dal and black dal are not used for babies as a first food because they can easily cause stomach gas.

How to Introduce Dahl to Baby? (Stage 0 to 4)

Please consult your pediatrician before you introduce your baby to solids. The best time to introduce is different across the globe and depends on the region and culture.

Stage 0 Lentil Baby Food: A lot of homes, cook lentils and strain the stock (lentil cooked water). This is cooled and fed to the baby before noon, without adding anything. This works in 2 ways – one is to check if the baby does well with lentils and the second is to get the baby used to the flavor of lentils.

For this a 3 day wait rule is followed to make sure the baby does not have any reaction, colic or indigestion. This is a stage 0 (Zero) lentil baby food and a 6 months old baby will be able to consume only a few teaspoons of this.

Stage 1 Baby Dal (8 Months): Later at this stage, we cook the lentils and rice together for a breakfast or mid-day meal. You can add easily digestible veggies like pumpkin or carrots to make a stage 1 lentil baby food.

At this stage avoid using vegetables that can potentially cause gas like potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli and sweet potatoes. You will also keep the quantity of dal less and rice more. You will mash the food completely or puree in a blender at this stage to get a puree like texture. Add a few drops of Cultured Ghee and not the other.

Note that you should have already introduced ghee, rice and the vegetables individually that you want to add here. Ideally at this stage we use a ratio of 1:4 (dal:rice).

Stage 2 (9 to 10 months) : At stage 2 you will increase the quantity of dal and more veggies. You can also introduce toor dal at this stage if you want. More kind of veggies like , bottle gourd and ridge gourd are also used.

This extra veggies give more texture to the baby lentil food. Also you may include spices like black pepper (during colder days), turmeric (a pinch) and carom seeds powder (ajwain for digestion) at this stage. All these are optional.

Stage 3 (11 to 12 months) : You will only increase the quantity of meal including ghee. Leafy greens life spinach, fenugreek can also be used. A lot of Indian also introduce Rasam and Sambar at this stage (low spiced/heat versions). I would make a no chilli version of these for my babies.

Stage 4 (after 12 months): Is a more textured meal where you will only soft cook the food and leave it to chunks so your baby begins to enjoy the texture of lentils, rice and veggies. At this stage we use 1: 1 ratio of dal and rice

Ways to cook Lentil Baby Food

The easiest way to make dal for your baby is in a pressure cooker – stovetop or electric cooker as this gives you the option to go with hand-free cooking.

In the step by step pictures I have shown how to make it in a cooker. Here is how to cook in a pot without a cooker.

• Soak half cup lentils for at least 1 hour up to overnight, as this helps in cooking them faster. You are free to skip this but your baby will be able to digest the soaked and cooked lentils easily.
• Rinse the lentils well after soaking and pour 2 cups of fresh water. Bring it to a rolling boil and simmer. Cook uncovered until tender. You will see a lot of froth, remove that with a slotted spoon and discard.
• When the lentils turn tender, Strain the stock and cool it. This gives you stage 0 dahl for your baby.
• To make the baby food for other stages, you simply add the other ingredients as mentioned in the recipe card and cook.

Pro Tips

Never introduce your baby to lentils in the later part of the day. According to Ayurveda, it is believed that digestion is best during the first half of the day (before noon) and it is sluggish in the later part. So we always feed lentils for breakfast or lunch. This clears up the lentils in the tummy by night, before you get your baby to bed.

Avoid introducing any other new food to your baby while you introduce the lentils. The reason being you won’t know which food has caused the trouble (in case).

Also note that it is essential to test every single food for 3 days before you cook a meal with all of them. Go slow!

How to Cook Dal for Baby (Stepwise photos)

1. Wash rice and dal together at least twice in lot of water. Optionally soak them for at least 30 to 60 minutes with 1 cup water in a small pressure cooker or pot. I use a 3lts pressure cooker.

2. Just before you cook, chop or grate veggies freshly and add to the soaked rice and dal.

3. On a medium heat pressure cook for 2 whistles. If you do not have a cooker, bring the water to a rolling boil and turn down the heat to low. Simmer until the lentils and rice are tender. If you find any froth, discard that with a slotted spoon.

4. When the pressure reduces , open the lid and check. The rice, lentils and veggies must be soft and mushy. While the rice is still hot, mash it to smooth with a spoon or a masher.

5. Add ghee, a pinch of crushed pepper and turmeric if you want. Babies need healthy fat, we use ghee. You can add salt after 1 year.

6. Mix everything well. If the consistency is too thick, pour some boiling hot water. Avoid adding cold water. Serve lentil rice warm. Warm foods digest better.

How to Make Stage 4 Lentil Baby Food

Babies over an year tend to become picky or choosy and love textured foods rather than smooth purees. So you can slowly move to veggies like onion, green peas, cauliflower, carrots, capsicum, methi, palak, beets etc. You can also make this moong dal recipe and serve with plain mashed rice.

1. Soak rice and dal for at least 30 minutes. Heat ghee and saute cumin. Add grated ginger and saute. It will begin to smell good.

2. Add veggies and saute again for 2 minutes.

3. Add rice and dal. Repeat sautéing for 2 mins.

4. Add salt and water as needed.

5. Close the pressure cooker and allow to whistle once or twice depending on the brand.

If desired you can mash it further before serving.

Development, nutrition and skills of a child at 4 months

— Ekaterina Borisovna, babies in their fourth month of life see better and are already exploring the environment with their hands and mouth. Let's list what a child can do at 4 months.

Child skills at 4 months:

• keeps head upright;
• shows more varied movements;
• learns to support with palms, rests on outstretched arms for some time;
• tries to crawl, makes worm-like movements towards the toy;
• actively puts his hands in his mouth, reaches for toys, can hold them, feels objects;
• rolls from back to side, can roll to stomach and back, but not required;
• turns his head to the source of the sound, hums for a long time;
• expresses emotions, smiles, grimaces;
• is able to recognize mother, close people;
• , when called by name, quickly remembers and then recognizes his name.

— What height and weight can be considered normal for a four-month-old baby?

- By this age, the child usually adds up to 6-10 cm in height and doubles its weight from the moment of birth. The girths of the head and chest are usually compared, then the chest grows more intensively. The norms for a particular child can be assessed according to special centile tables used by pediatricians. Doctors also evaluate the harmony of physical development according to the correspondence of weight to height.

— How to recognize deviations in the development of a small child — what should parents pay attention to?

Physical indicators of the correct development of the child

- Deviations may occur if the rate of development slows down in a short period of time. For example, when a child grew, grew, grew and suddenly stops. The assessment of anthropometric indicators is carried out by the doctor on a monthly basis, and with a timely visit to the clinic, the pediatrician will definitely notice deviations in the development of the baby.

Motor activity of children

— In addition to assessing physical development, it is important to monitor the formation of motor skills. At four months, the baby is active and knows a lot. But if the child does not hold his head well, does not attempt to roll over, is not able to hold the toy, his emotions are scarce, he cries a lot, does not gurgle - these are alarming symptoms, and you need to see a doctor. The pediatrician will be able to determine the cause of the delay in psychomotor and physical development, prescribe additional examinations, adjust nutrition, and recommend a set of physical exercises.

How to develop a child at 4 months

- Ekaterina Borisovna, is there a difference between the development of 4-month-old boys and girls?

- Boys are usually born larger than girls, and this trend continues in development for a long period of time. Often at this age, the height of boys reaches 66 cm, weight - 7.2 kg, while girls rarely reach 63 cm and their weight often does not exceed 6.5 kg. Otherwise, the differences between healthy children of both sexes at this stage are insignificant and depend on the constitutional features, character, nationality of the child and other factors.

— What are the most common mistakes parents make when they are involved in child development?

- Mistakes are allowed: not every mother immediately knows how to do the right thing. Let's talk about what not to do.

First type - errors in the mother-child relationship

The second type - pedagogical errors

- Feeding a child at 4 months - what to feed so that he grows up healthy?

— Regardless of the type of feeding, complementary foods should be introduced between the 17th and 26th weeks. It is optimal for a healthy baby to introduce complementary foods at five months. The minimum age at which complementary foods can be introduced is four months. By this period, the gastrointestinal tract gradually matures, the permeability of the mucous membrane of the small intestine decreases, a number of digestive enzymes are produced in sufficient volume, a good level of local immunity is formed, which reduces the likelihood of allergic reactions. The child is already able to swallow food thicker than milk or formula.

The timing of the introduction of complementary foods is set individually, taking into account the characteristics of the physical development, functioning of the digestive and nervous systems of the child.

At four months, children with low weight, with frequent stools, poor weight and growth gains can be offered gluten-free porridge, but for a child with overweight or a tendency to constipation - vegetable monocomponent puree. For the prevention of rickets and the proper absorption of calcium at this age, each child should receive vitamin D in a prophylactic dose. The therapeutic dose and indications for its administration are determined by the pediatrician.

— How much can I feed my baby?

— It is recommended to start the introduction of complementary foods gradually with one teaspoon, bringing the volume up to the age norm within 5-7 days. On average, this is 50-70 g, but each portion will be individual. A new product should always be given in the morning so that it is possible to follow the reaction to its introduction. If there has been no reaction to a new food for several days, you can slightly shift the time of its intake. It is best to offer vegetable puree at lunchtime, and it is better to give cereals for dinner so that the child stays full longer and gradually weaned from night feedings.

— What can be given to a 4-month-old baby if the mother does not have enough breast milk or if lactation needs to be completed?

- At such times, the baby can be transferred to mixed or full artificial feeding. For a healthy baby with no allergy symptoms, a pediatrician may offer an adapted goat milk formula. It has several advantages over formula based on cow's milk: it is easier to digest, less allergenic, causes less digestive problems and is suitable for most healthy babies, as well as some babies with cow's milk protein intolerance.

4-month-old forbidden menu:

• adult foods not intended for infants during the first year of life;
• products of inhomogeneous consistency;
• products containing flavorings, preservatives, spices, salt, sugar;
• whole cow's or goat's milk, juices;
• products intended for babies in the second half of life - gluten multicomponent cereals, meat puree, fish, dairy products. Terms of their introduction - 6-8 months;
• expired and expired products.

— Are the abilities of four-month-olds breastfed and bottle-fed different?

- With a properly selected mixture, there are no significant differences in the development of infants who are on different types of feeding. Modern adapted mixtures are as close as possible to mother's milk in their composition and contain the entire set of nutrients necessary for the full development of the baby. Before switching to mixed or artificial feeding, the doctor will recommend an adapted formula, depending on the individual characteristics of the child.

For a healthy baby with no signs of allergy, digestive complaints or cases of family intolerance to cow's milk proteins, the doctor may recommend a goat's milk formula. It will be preferable to cow's milk formula.

As a first mixture, I recommend MAMAKO ^® Premium Goat Milk. Milk in the stomach forms a soft curd clot, it is well broken down by enzymes and absorbed. It also contains virtually no complex alpha-S1-casein protein, so the mixture is less allergenic and easier to digest. In addition, it contains:

• Omega-6 and Omega-3 amino acids in the maximum ratio and lutein - such an IQ-complex is necessary for the proper development of vision and the brain;
• pre- and probiotic complex - the gastrointestinal tract is populated with beneficial microorganisms that inhibit the growth of opportunistic microflora, normalize digestion and have a positive effect on the immune system.

These unique properties allow MAMAKO ^® Premium to be recommended as a good alternative to mother's milk when complementary or artificial feeding is required.

At four months, the baby continues to grow actively, but the gains are no longer as noticeable as in the first three months of life. At this age, it is useful to do gymnastics and do a light massage, offer the child a variety of toys and introduce him to the wonderful world of sounds, spend enough time outside. If necessary, the baby can try the first meal of complementary foods - vegetable puree or porridge. But do not rush the natural development of the baby, load it with too intense physical activities, offer products that are not age-appropriate. Be sure to visit a pediatrician in a timely manner and follow his recommendations.

* Breast milk is the best food for babies. WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of a child's life and continued breastfeeding after complementary foods are introduced until the age of 2 years. Before introducing new products into the baby's diet, you should consult with a specialist. The material is for informational purposes and cannot replace the advice of a healthcare professional. For feeding children from birth.

4 to 6 months

Breast milk is the best food for your baby.
It is very important that the baby consumes breast milk for as long as possible.

The right age to start complementary foods

It is recommended to start introducing complementary foods into the baby's diet no earlier than 4 months, but no later than 6 months*. At this age, the baby is in the active phase of development and reacts with curiosity to everything new! Some babies at 4 to 5 months of age can no longer satisfy their appetite with breast milk alone and need complementary foods for healthy growth. Other children have enough breast milk, and they are ready for the introduction of complementary foods only after 6 months. The decision to start complementary foods should always be made according to your baby's development. Do you feel like your baby is not getting enough breast milk? Does your baby hold his head on his own, show interest in new foods or a spoon? Then it's time to start feeding. If in doubt, consult your pediatrician.

If your baby spits out the first spoonfuls of puree, be patient. After all, he must first learn to swallow it. Start with a few scoops and give your child time to get used to the new form of feeding.

*Recommendation of the Nutrition Committee of the European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN)

Why is complementary food so important for the baby?

After 4-6 months of life, mother's milk or milk formula alone is not enough to supply the child's body with all the nutrients and energy it needs. In addition, the transition to solid food trains the muscles of the mouth. And finally, with the introduction of complementary foods, the child will get acquainted with the variety of taste directions, which is also important for his development.

When to start complementary foods?

Gradually replace one breastfeed with complementary foods. First for lunch, then for dinner and finally for lunch. The mouse eats breakfast with the usual dairy food.

Starting complementary foods with HiPP products is easy. The first spoons will be vegetable or fruit purees HiPP:

First step: lunch

We recommend that you start complementary foods at lunchtime with HiPP vegetable puree (for example, "Zucchini. My first puree", "Cauliflower. My first puree" or "Broccoli .My first puree"). Then, for satiety, feed your baby as always: breast or bottle. The amount of vegetable puree can be increased daily by 1 spoon. Be patient if your baby does not immediately love vegetables. Try repeating the vegetable puree in the following days. Next week, you can expand your diet with other varieties of HiPP vegetables (for example, "Carrots. My first puree" or "Potatoes. My first puree").

If your baby tolerates vegetables well, in the third week you can introduce grain porridge into the diet, and as a dessert, offer a few spoons of fruit puree enriched with vitamin C.
