7+ months baby food recipes / Stage-2 baby food recipes

Welcome to stage 2 baby food recipes…

• Around 7+ months your baby may eat between 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup of food and often will be ready for 2 or 3 meals
• At this stage, you can offer thicker purees and mashed foods. See video of
  recipe #2 – Rice, Parsnip & Orange sweet potato under ‘Lunch options’ to prepare mashed foods for babies.
• Offer solids atleast 25-30 minutes after breast feeding/formula so that they will eat without any fuss and wouldn’t make their tummy full. I always give solids 40 – 45 minutes after breastfeeding as I noticed she eats well and loves eating food:)
• Remember to offer some water before and after meals.
• Important note : Always watch for any new signs or symptoms when introducing new foods at all stages.

Breakfast options:

1) Oats – Powdered or blended

2) Fortified Muesli / Multigrain cereal (from stores)

3) Ragi ( Finger millet ) porridge

4) Homemade Multigrain cereal for ( 7 & 8 months baby )
