6 Months Baby Food Chart with Indian Baby Food Recipes

6 Months Baby Food Chart, Indian Baby Food recipes, By six months your baby will be completely ready for solids and showing signs for readiness. This post will help you to decide on what are the foods you can introduce at six months with sample food charts. Prefer homemade foods than buying packaged or ready-made foods available in the market, because homemade is safest and healthiest.

Also, remember that solids food can't replace the nutrients breastmilk or formula provides during the first year. So consider including solids in your baby's diet as a complementary feeding. Please read on how to introduce solids to the baby before you plan a food chart for your six months baby.

What foods can be included in 6 months of baby's diet?

This stage is a little tricky as six months is a starting of solids. Safe, less allergic, easily digestible, healthy and nutritious foods are recommended when you start solids for the first time. Here is the list of safe options you can include in 6 months old baby's diet.

Non-Vegetarian: None

How much quantity per day?

For the quantity of food, always be guided with your baby's hunger as appetite varies from baby to baby, and most babies change from day-to-day. Here is an approximate amount:

1 tbsp of fruit or veg puree. Gradually increased to 4 tbsp
2 tbsp of cereal. Gradually increased to 1/4 cup

Notes :

Sterilize the bowls and spoons used for feeding your baby in a vessel with hot water for five minutes and keep it immersed in the same vessel until use.
Never introduce more than one food at a time when introducing solids to your baby.
Salt and sugar are not recommended in baby's food until 1 year of age.
Check for allergy symptoms when you are introducing a new food to your baby and stop feeding you if you find any symptoms.
Feed your baby with breastmilk or formula milk on demand other than the timings mentioned in the chart.
Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
Steaming is a healthy option for baby food than pressure cooking. So I prefer steaming using an Idli pot or steamer.

diet for a 6-month-old baby with breast and artificial feeding, an approximate menu for a week in the table, a diet for a day

Changes in a child in the first year of life are very rapid, and each month is not like another. The 6-month milestone is very important, it is largely evaluative and transitional. By this age, most babies have doubled their birth weight, are about 15 cm tall, and some babies have already erupted their teeth. The age of 6 months is also transitional in terms of nutrition. Breast milk or an adapted formula is still the basis of the diet, but with the beginning of the second half of life, all children, without exception, should begin to receive complementary foods. Despite the general graph of growth and weight gain and indicators of psychomotor development, the status and diet of children at 6 months can be very different.

Content: Hide

The first feeding of 6 months
The start of complementary foods at 4-5 months
The second half of life
for a week for a child at 6 months

The first feeding of 6 months

If the baby is healthy and breastfed, and his mother eats a full and varied diet, exclusive breastfeeding is possible until this age. Cereal complementary foods in this case are preferable to start. This is due to the high energy and nutritional value of cereals, the ability to significantly enrich the baby's diet with a delayed start of the introduction of complementary foods.

However, the rate of expansion of the child's diet in this situation will be accelerated. Before the 8th month of life, it is necessary to introduce all basic food groups into the baby’s menu, since in the second half of the year the need for additional intake of nutrients and micronutrients is very high. Another reason explaining the importance of the rapid introduction of complementary foods is the formation of immunity of the immune cells of the intestine to ordinary food. If a child is introduced to these foods at the age of 4-8 months, the risk of developing food allergies has been proven to be reduced.

Complementary feeding starts at 4-5 months

In today's life, the nutrition of a nursing mother, unfortunately, is not always complete. Therefore, for most breastfed babies, complementary foods already need to be introduced from 5 months in order to prevent deficient conditions.

If a child is bottle-fed, then by the 4th month of life, the baby will not have enough adapted formula alone, and in this group of children, the timing of the introduction of complementary foods usually shifts a month earlier than in breast-fed babies. Accordingly, by 6 months, children will have vegetable puree and gluten-free porridge (buckwheat, corn and rice) in their diet. In the first half of life, monocomponent meals are used (that is, from one type of grain and vegetables), prepared on the basis of water, breast milk or an adapted mixture.

Fruit puree and juice can be another possible complementary food for children under 6 months of age without allergy symptoms. In a child with a risk of developing or manifesting allergies, the timing of the introduction of fruit complementary foods is shifted to the 8th month.

Second six months of life

Children over 6 months of age can supplement their diet with cereals containing gluten. First of all, these are oatmeal and wheat porridge, and then multi-cereal dishes with the addition of other cereals (millet, barley, rye). If the child does not have any manifestations of allergies, milk porridge can be included in the menu at this age. Bebi Premium industrial baby food products include specially prepared milk that is safe to use in healthy babies in the first year of life.

From the age of 6 months, the baby's diet is expanded with such important products as meat and cottage cheese. These products are a source of high-quality protein, fats, and are also rich in minerals such as iron, calcium, and phosphorus. Pediatricians and nutritionists recommend introducing meat and cottage cheese as part of combined dishes based on a fruit and vegetable and / or grain component in a ratio of 1 (cottage cheese / meat): 4–5 (fruits / vegetables / cereals).

To enrich the diet with polyunsaturated fatty acids in the second half of the year, the menu includes vegetable oil in the amount of 3–5 grams per day, which can be added to the complementary food dish. The volume of each feeding is approximately 150-170 ml, and the child can already stand up to 3.5 hours between meals.

In the table below, we offer a menu of 6 months for a week for a child who started receiving complementary foods at the age of 4-5 months, and by the time the second half of life begins, dairy-free gluten-free cereals, vegetable and fruit purees have already been introduced into his diet.

food guide with descriptions and photos

When Indian spices are placed on a hot frying pan, a wonderful aroma immediately spreads throughout the area. He lightly knocks on doors and windows, envelops wooden huts, trees. Neighbor dogs are already moving their noses in the wind, wondering what it is: marinated chicken or melt-in-your-mouth fried paneer cheese? You can eat Indian food every day and discover something new every time. Today I will talk about what we ate in Delhi and Goa for two months. The most delicious and favorite dishes with descriptions and photos. Fasting on an empty stomach is dangerous, so better make yourself a sandwich.

It's amazing how the same products "sound" differently in different cuisines around the world. Take at least vegetables - potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, onions. Our housewives will most likely make a vegetable soup or stew out of this. Flip flops will quickly fry this in a hot frying pan, adding soy sauce and half a spoon of sodium gluconate. Thais, in addition to salty soy sauce, add sugar and squeeze lime juice. And the Malays will be rolled in breadcrumbs and fried in a huge vat with oil poured to the brim.

Most Indian cooking starts the same way. A small fragile woman in a colorful sari will first add oil to the pan, and then start conjuring with spices. I think nowhere else in the world do I use so many powders, seeds and herbs at the same time. Here's a pinch of cardamom, heels of cloves, a spoonful of mustard seeds and a couple of curry leaves, fenugreek and fennel seeds, turmeric for color ... Each dish is like the result of the work of a skilled alchemist. To infuse flavor into a new dish, you need to be a bit of a magician.

Indian dishes: what to order in a restaurant

Chicken Masala or Chicken Tikka Masala

Chicken fried in tandoor and then braised in a sauce of tomatoes, ginger, garlic, cream and Indian spices. The prefix Tikka means that the chicken was marinated in spices before baking.

I also strongly advise you to try the same dish, only from lamb. It is called Lamb Masala . In good Indian restaurants, the meat is tender, it melts in your mouth.

Shakhi Paneer and Palak Paneer

Paneer is the name for Indian homemade cheese, which is somewhat similar to our Adyghe cheese. Uncooked from a neutral taste, not greasy, porous, so it perfectly absorbs any sauce. Shahi Paneer is a cheese cooked in a creamy tomato sauce. Ground nuts are sometimes added to it. Palak Paneer - the same cheese, but in a spinach sauce.

We've also tried Paneer Makhanwala with a simple creamy tomato sauce. And Kadai Paneer - in yogurt sauce with the addition of green bell pepper.

Chicken Sagwala

Very tender chicken in spinach sauce. Usually it is prepared without the addition of hot spices, so the dish can be safely ordered for children. It can be eaten with flatbread or rice.

Dal

Lentil soup, more like puree. Boiled lentils are overcooked with fried vegetables and spices. Dal is spicy, spicy, hot and incredibly tasty. Be sure to order Indian cakes for it. It is correct to eat gave not with a spoon, but scooping mashed potatoes from a plate with a flat cake.

Aloo Gobi

A very simple vegetarian Indian dish. Alu is a potato and gobi is a cauliflower. Despite the simple ingredients, these dishes from Indian chefs come out just a masterpiece. If you are not a vegetarian and are skeptical about meat-free dishes, then Alu Gobi will be able to convince you that a hearty meal can be without animal protein.

Biryani (Biriyani)

It is called Indian pilaf, although it has nothing to do with pilaf. The peculiarity of Asian pilaf is that rice is boiled in a broth of overcooked vegetables and meat. But when preparing Biryani, rice is boiled separately in ordinary water, and vegetables and meat with spices are fried in a pan. Then, all this is combined already on a plate, beautifully laying out the filling of meat and vegetables inside the rice. It turns out such a dish with a surprise. Sometimes, however, rice with vegetables is simply mixed in a pan and no surprise comes out. Biryani are vegetarian, with chicken, pork or lamb. Rice is usually made spicy, but if you do not like spicy, then ask for it without chili (no chilli).

Easy Step by Step Vegetarian Biryani Recipe

Momo

These are Tibetan dumplings. If you do not know how to feed a child in India, order momo. There are vegetarian momos with cabbage, carrots and onions, there are chicken, pork and beef momos.

Proper momos should be freshly molded, steamed in special momos right before serving.

When the perfect momo enters the mouth, meat juice flows out of it, which simply makes you close your eyes in pleasure. If momo was prepared in advance, frozen, and after some time cooked, then you will immediately feel it. They will be dry and tasteless. One has only to find an Indian restaurant that serves delicious momo, and you will not notice how your legs will carry you there again and again. If you suddenly find yourself in Goa in Arambol, check out the beach Shiva Garden restaurant . They make amazing momos there.

Raita

Vegetable or fruit salad generously flavored with sour-milk Indian curd (curd is a drink similar to kefir). Some compare it to okroshka, because raita is usually liquid, because. kerda there are more vegetables. Sometimes raita with onions, cucumbers and tomatoes, sometimes with small pieces of pineapple or other fruits. Raita with roti bread is the perfect dinner in the heat, when you do not want to eat heavy and fatty foods, but the body requires a light and cool lunch.

Masala Dosa

Dosa is an Indian flatbread made from lentil or rice flour. It is big and crispy. Dosa options can be many. The most famous vegetarian restaurant chain in India, Saravana Bhavan, serves 22 types of dosa. Masala dosa is the most popular of them. Spicy mashed potatoes are placed inside the tortillas, and sauces are served along with the pancake.

Pakora

This is the general term for batter-fried vegetables, cheese or meat. Pakora can be a wonderful beer snack, for example.

Uthappam

Another vegetarian Indian dish. These are pancakes made from rice or lentil flour, in the dough of which small pieces of vegetables were added. It is very similar to our omelette with vegetables, only instead of eggs, the basis of the dish is dough. Uttapams are served with sauces as an appetizer for meat, dal or as a main dish.

Mostly uttapam is homemade and street food, but these pancakes are also served in restaurants above the roadside cafes.

Malai Kofta

Mashed potato patties with paneer cheese, stewed in a creamy nut sauce with cashews and raisins. Very gentle, sweet taste. A hearty dish that goes well with flatbread or rice.

Veg Jaipuri

Veg Jaipuri is a mixture of vegetables in a special cocktail of spices. There are coriander seeds, and cashew nuts fried in butter, as well as ginger and garlic, tomatoes and a special blend of spices Garam Masala. Boiled vegetables are stewed in this Jaipuri sauce, a little cream and Paneer cheese are added and voila - the dish is ready!

This is one of my favorite dishes in India. It's just excellent cooked in a small restaurant in Arambol called Gods Gift .

Idli (Idly)

Another variety of Indian cakes made from rice, lentil or wheat flour. They are steamed and usually served with vegetable sauces. This everyday Indian meal is perfect for a light breakfast.

Soup Sambar (Sambar)

Famous Indian soup with lentils and vegetables. It is spicy, spicy, sour and sweet at the same time. There are a lot of vitamins in this soup, as it contains an incredible amount of different vegetables: eggplant and carrots, tomatoes and pumpkin, tamarind and green beans. Mustard seeds, coconut flakes, cumin, turmeric, curry leaves and ground coriander help to add a spicy Indian touch to this dish.

Chicken Kebab (Chicken Kebab)

Kebabs can also be vegetable or meat. Chicken kebab is a mixture of minced chicken with rice and spices. A sausage is formed from minced meat, strung on a skewer, and then fried in a tandoori oven until cooked. Served with sauce.

Thali (Thali)

If you want to try everything at once, then you won't find a dish better than Thali. This is a real big lunch or dinner in which just a little bit. For example, in this picture in meat Thali there are several dishes at once (from left to right): vegetable Raita, Shahi Paneer cheese, Dal soup, vegetable Biryani and Naan flatbreads.

Each cafe or restaurant has its own Tali with its own set of dishes. Here, for example, fish Tali, which cost us as much as 2.5 dollars.

And here is the vegetarian Tali.

Indian sweets

Yes, India also loves sweets and here are the main desserts:

Jalebi - fried dough spirals soaked in syrup.

Burfi - small squares made from coconut or cow's milk. Milk is boiled for a long time to evaporate excess liquid, and then mixed with sugar, butter, coconut, vanilla and chopped nuts.

Rasgulla - curd balls boiled and soaked in sugar syrup.

Fruit salad - there are a lot of fruits in India, so fruit salad can be the most delicious and healthy of all desserts.

Indian bread

Flatbread is simply an integral part of any Indian meal. There are so many varieties that you need to seriously try to remember everything.

Rotti or chapatti

The most popular and inexpensive Indian bread. Flatbread made from unleavened dough, fried without oil in a cast-iron pan. They are not greasy and are quite harmless for the figure. Rotti and chapatti are not fried for the future. As soon as they cool down, they become tasteless. So if you ordered dinner at a restaurant, then order rotti to it as needed so that the bread is always hot.

Naans

My favorite delicacy is Naan cakes. They are made from a special airy yeast dough with the addition of butter and yogurt, and baked in a tandoori oven. In addition to simple naans, you should definitely try Butter Naan with butter, Cheese Naan with cheese and Garlik Naan with garlic.

Paratha

Stuffed flatbread. The most popular is Alu Paratha, which is no longer even bread, but a whole pie with potatoes. Puree is simply added to the dough and the cake is rolled out, and then it is fried in a pan.

Puri

Fried dough balls, hollow inside. They are deep-fried and then allowed to drain off the oil. Puri is eaten with chutneys. This is a simple food that is sold not only in small cafes, but also vendors on the street. Puri can be eaten while sitting on a park bench.

Pava (Pawa)

Flatbread made from flour with bran. Peacocks are transported on bicycles in the morning by street vendors. One flatbread costs only 3-5 rupees ($0.05-0.08). These buns make amazing vegan burgers with cheese and vegetables. And for those who eat meat and eggs, burgers with scrambled eggs or fried meat will be prepared.

Indian drinks in restaurants

What to order as drinks in an Indian restaurant?

Masala tea - the famous black hour with milk and spices.

South Indian coffee - hand-brewed freshly ground coffee. Served in unusual iron cups.

Milk coffee - Instant coffee powder added to hot milk.

Lassi is a fermented milk product similar to sweet drinking yogurt. Fruity cocktails are also made with Lassi.

Fresh juices . They are made in India from anything, from carrots and avocados to mangoes and strawberries. Usually the price of a large glass of juice is 60-100 rupees ($1-1.6).

After a delicious, hearty and spicy dinner, you will be brought this box of fennel.
