Hi. My baby is 7 months old. I have started giving him the solid food. like mashed dal rice, chapati, vegetables, paratha, Poha,upma, Shira, kheer. What should be the quantity? How much time I can give him the milk? my mother-in-law adds lots of ghee in his food. Sometimes she tries to taste him the tea and toast. I knw it's not good. But how can I make her understand. She feels that adding more ghee will improve his health. Also she adds lots of jeera, salt in his food. Is it ok? bolied potatoes are safe for 7 month baby?

The quantity should be as per baby's preference. Do not force feed. No salt and sugar till one year. Little ghee can be added but not too much. For seven months I feel the items introduced are already too much. Outside milk also only after one year. No tea coffee or bread just yet. It is suggested that you take your mother in law with you to the baby's doctor or a Nutrition counselor as both of you will get some clarity.
