Sweet Potato can be started as one of the first solid foods your baby when he turns six months old. Sweet potatoes are a rich source of fibre as well as high in beta-carotene, vitamin A, vitamin B6 and vitamin C and minerals including iron, calcium, selenium, thiamine, niacin, potassium and copper. They are also a good source of protein, calcium, vitamin E. To prepare, wash the Sweet Potato well and boil the Sweet potato in Steamer or Pressure Cooker without salt. I’ve found sweet potatoes take longer to cook to a soft consistency so you can keep it for more whistles if pressure cooking. If steaming using a steamer, please check if it’s cooked all the way through before offering it to your baby. Another alternate way is to roast it and offer. This tastes really good as well! If you're worried about the texture or if you've just started on blw, you could also pre-load spoons of mashed sweet potato and offer them to your baby.

It's almost the end of mango season, but we had to make a mention of the king of fruits! Mangos have a unique flavour and taste that babies love chewing on. It is one of the highest food sources of vitamin C and also has good amounts of vitamins A and K. Serving suggestion(6-9M): peel the mango and cut them into long slices that can be grasped by your baby. Keep in mind that mangos are extremely slippery, so if your baby has trouble holding on to it, you can also roll it in finely grated coconut or nut powders for better grip. Once your baby develops a good pincer grasp, you may also dice it into smaller pieces that your baby can pick up and eat (optional). Keep in mind that nuts are known allergens, so better to introduce one at a time and in the mornings to better monitor. S loved Alphonso and Banganapalli.

Which kid doesn't love pasta? We wanted to introduce this to our grandson but I also wanted to make it very healthy. We found they sell single ingredient pastas made completely of red lentils/ chickpeas/peas etc. We bought these to try and they tasted really good! After that we started coming up with simple, easy to make pasta recipes for S to enjoy. Our experience: We first introduced it to S when he was a little over 6 months. S loved picking up the pieces one by one and eating it. Through trial and error we learnt it's better to not overcook the pasta - mainly because though it's softer and easier to chew, it would break easily in his grip and frustrate him since he couldn't put it in his mouth. We also picked pasta varieties like fusilli or penne since they are longer cuts and easier to hold. Recipe below: 1. Make a "X" shaped cut on the tomato skin. Blanch it in water for about 5 min or until you see the skin start to peel back.  2. Sauté the garlic pods after peeling the skin in butter. 3. Mix the two together in a Mixie and grind coarsely without adding any water.Note: you can also very finely chop the cooked garlic and add to the pureed tomatoes. 4.Boil Water and add pasta to boiling water and cook until the pasta is soft. 5.Strain the water from cooked pasta and toss it in the prepared Tomato sauce and serve. Try it out and let us know if your baby loved it as well 🥰 Link in bio for more details. #babyledweaningindianstyle #babyledweaningindia #babyledweaningindianrecipes #blwindianideas #blwindia #blwindianideas #blwindianrecipes #blwpasta #pastaforbaby #tomatosaucepasta #blw6months #blwindianbaby #blwfingerfood #blwfingerfoodseries #babyledweaningmeals #blwsimpleandeasy #blwsimple https://www.instagram.com/p/CRJnAbWNqt_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Beetroot is definitely one of the fun vegetables out there for babies. They get so fascinated as they see the beetroot colour on their hands after holding it. You can introduce this any time after 6 Months after cooking it properly. Beetroots are highly nutritious and has a good amount of vitamin C which aids in iron absorption. They are rich in iron, folate (vitamin B9) and potassium. They are also a great source of fibre. Serving suggestion for 6M+ You can introduce well-cooked beetroot pieces to your baby cut to appropriate finger food length. Ensure the cuts are long enough for your baby to hold and eat. After 9 months or once your baby develops good pincer grasp, you can also cut it into smaller pieces that your baby is comfortable with. #babyledweaningindianstyle #beetrootforbabies #blwindianideas #blwfingerfood #blwindia #blw #babyledweaning #blwindianrecipes #babyledweaningindianbaby #babyledweaningindianrecipes #babyledweaning6months #babyledweaningideas #blw6months #blwbeetroot https://www.instagram.com/p/CRHNzFLtkBL/?utm_medium=tumblr
