Doctor-approved dates, tiny pieces of raisins, makhana, murmure (puffed rice), mathri and store puffs are popular snacks; roast makhana in a little ghee, but don't overdo it as too much can cause constipation.
⚠️ Caution:Cut raisins small and keep makhana moderate to avoid choking and constipation respectively.
Parents run out of snack ideas beyond fruit and worry about choking. The community offers easy, mostly homemade options like dates, makhana and puffed rice, with reminders to cut raisins small and not overdo makhana.
Here's what moms in our community shared based on their own experience.
Dates are a regular doctor-approved snack. We also give raisins cut into tiny chewable pieces.
Makhana, murmure (puffed rice) and sometimes Slurrp Farm puffs. Mathri too.
Roast makhana in ghee until crunchy (with a little salt), but too much makhana can cause constipation.
