Congratulations on new milestone Naiyya. Weaning needs lot of patience. Rejections are common in the beginning. So keep offering baby new food everyday. I introduced ragi porridge in semi liquid form. Initially 2 to 3 spoon she ate and later increased quantity. Introduce vegetables, dal, idli, dosa in very small pieces in small quantities. Then gradually increase quantity.

Wow!!! This is so so so helpful!! Thanks so much Sonam, Rebecca, Revauthi, Satarupa, Akanksha, Nilo. I am feeling a lot more relaxed after reading this. This has been rather stressful and I've been wondering what I was doing wrong. So helpful again. Thanks to you all!

What a co-incidence just today i posted about food-cues for a year old. Do read my post. Though it is written for a toddler byt the general points cover a new eater too. I read most of the suggestions have already been covered so nicely and mostly everything is covered by moms here. So only one advice- take it slow and easy. It will take time and patience. http://app.babychakra.com/feedpost/114084?ref=Ne2cf7e&c=app_share&pid=android_consumer&

Hi Naiyya, it's great that the munchkin is ready to be weaned off now. Mommies here have given great suggestions, my two cents would be, start with mashed fruits, as they are naturally sweet, baby might like them. If she is refusing banana, go for mango or steamed apple puree, cheeku or something similar, that can be mashed well and given. Then, introduction of veggies should be done, steamed vegetables pureed form first, And when the baby gets habituated, then mashing coarsely will do too. Ofcourse, no salt no sugar till 1 year. Baby won't eat too much in the beginning, just few spoons if it's a good day. Mostly 1-2 spoons. Give her soups , finger foods like steamed carrot, potato, broccoli, small ghee fried paneer cubes etc. Let her eat on her own. It will be messy, but she will learn more about textures that way. Mashed dal rice can be introduced too, with some ghee. Curd rice too is liked by babies, u can try that. Give food from all categories, soon she will give you the cue herself that what she likes to have, so that it becomes easier for you. Happy weaning 😊
