Empowering mothers worldwide through connection, support, and shared experiences ✨
Once a baby is on basic porridge and mashed fruit, moms suggest introducing avocado, pumpkin, sweet potato, oats, suji, atta, pear, carrot, beetroot and even eggs - one at a time to spot allergies - with calorie-dense options like avocado aiding weight gain.
⚠️ Caution:Introduce each new food singly and watch for allergic reactions before combining.
Parents on a few starter foods wonder what to add next, especially for weight gain. The community offers a clear list of nutritious next foods - led by calorie-dense avocado - with the reminder to introduce them one at a time.
Here's what moms in our community shared based on their own experience.
Avocado, pumpkin, sweet potato and oats - all fruits and vegetables that are non-allergenic.
Introduce everything one at a time to spot allergies - beetroot, suji, atta, pumpkin, pear, carrots. You can even try eggs. Around 8 months we started introducing nuts (powdered) in cereal.
