Homemade food for my baby.

After the age of 6 months, the baby's stomach is able to absorb other non-vegetarian, sugary and fatty foods besides milk and mother's milk alone cannot supply the baby's nutrition at this time. So after full 6 months of age you have to start home made food. At this time, in addition to breast milk, the baby should be given a small amount of nutritious food and the amount of food should be increased with age. The child should be gradually accustomed to one food after another without mixing different types of food together. In addition to breast milk, a 6 to 6 month old baby needs 200 kcal per day, a 9 to 11 month old baby needs 300 kcal per day and a 12 to 23 month old baby needs 550 kcal of energy.Care should be taken when starting home-made meals so that the food is nutritious and easily digested by the child. Food ingredients should be readily available and hygiene should be maintained while preparing food. Be aware of the concentration of food prepared for the baby. Care should be taken that the food is not too thin. This will lead to malnutrition. Again the child will not be able to eat extra solid food and will have difficulty in digestion. A 6 to 6 month old child should be given half a bowl 250 ml bowl twice a day, a 9 to 11 month old child should be given half a bowl 3 times a day and a 12 to 23 month old child should be given one bowl 3 times a day. In addition, all children should be given a nutritious breakfast 1-2 times.
