Meal Plans Week 2: 6+ months

Welcome to Week 2 of Kiddy Kitchen! We have yet another lip-smacking line-up of recipes for your just-starting-on-solids little one!

They have been put together by Healthy Eating Habits Expert Deepti Arora who understands the baby palate perfectly.

She has some advice for you to consider:

It is difficult to predict how much your baby will eat since their appetites and needs will be different. At the very beginning, don’t expect your baby to take more than 1-2 spoons of fruit or vegetable puree. As your baby develops, increase quantity gradually.

Always remember to introduce one new food/food group at a time and let the child get accustomed to the taste, check for allergies and then move to the next.
