Thanks for watching!!
Thank you for the amazing series of videos on starting solids. My baby is turning 4 months very soon and I'm gathering as much information as possible that will help me. Ideally, I would like to do just baby led weaning...but may try a combination method, if it doesn't work well. I can totally relate with you about people's comments on how you feed your baby! :) I don't really have any close family around who have had babies recently. So your videos are a great help. I'm not the kind of person who wants to blindly follow what everyone has been doing for generations..and many times I get criticisms for not doing what the older people did for their children. Looking forward for more informative videos.
Was just going through all your videos and congratulations on hitting 4k. Also, I love your banner. !!
Thank you so much! Good to hear from you :)
I find your voice so soothing to listen to. All your videos were very supportive and informative during my pregnancy.
Aww thank you!

Do you have any food chart?! Please do share
baby cereals of GERBER brands are good or not, Like oatmeal cereal .. for a 7 month old?
Hi, your videos are so good and helpful, I am completely following your videos. I have a 5 month kid. And I am already planning about weaning from now watching your videos so that I would be prepared well when she is 6 months😊. Please please do more videos
That's lovely, all the best!
hello mam..
very nice and informative video..
my baby is 6 month old and now I am going to introduce solids.. this information is very helpful to me.. thanks a lot..
Glad you found it useful. Good luck!
Hi did u try pumpkin too and did u strain purees initially and later gave it as it is
Thank you so much ! For series of these starting solid. It helped a lot !
i m also worried like you and what to do whether to start puree or baby led weaning and i am also thinking to go like combination of both 😅 lets see what follows
You can do it!
Hi Vidya, thanks a lot for this information.For the finger foods, did you them to him raw or cooked ?
Cooked but not soggy vegetables. Easy to pick up for him.
hi vidya, congratulations you have made a very nice channel. very informative and a pleasant watch. could you kindly inform me if the 360 miracle cup (smaller one) from munchkin is appropriate for a child who has never taken to bottle feeding. since the water does not pour, is it easy for the child to figure how to take a sip? the question might seem silly but im at my wits end, trying to find a perfect sippy cup.
Not silly, I've been there too! I started with this cup www.amazon.com/NUK-Fashion-Hearts-Learner-5-Ounce/dp/B00BEVSSDU?th=1 that helped him learn how to suck. Some people start with the 360 right away, but we didn't do that. The 360 cup came in a few months later, and then I switched to a straw cup, because I heard it is better for them. Good luck mommy!
Hi vidhya, i follow /refer your videos most of the time. My baby started her 7th month and i am giving formula milk. How many times we have to give the solids like bf,lunch,dinner for a 7 month old baby? Is there any food chart you follow?
Hey Vidya
My son is 1 year old. He is on pureed food. He does not accept non pureed food as he starts choking. I am really worried as to how to make him eat normal textured Khichri or other foods.
Vidya, pls create a diet chart (vegetarian) , for mothers who are breastfeeding. From infancy to 6 months or beyond.
Yes please share food chart
Can we add turmeric in baby food puree or not during boling time
Hello Vidhya My baby is 4 and 1/2 month old now was looking forward for some knowledge regarding starting the solids your videos helped me alot to make up my mind now i have a idea what i am going to do once she completes six months of her age.
Thanks alot. :)
Good to hear that you're preparing early, glad to have helped :)
Thanks for this video 🙏
My baby is 6 months and we are going to start solids . In our family as well the same thing happens where they are concern about if she is having enough milk though I pumped the milk and show them as well 😅
I will also try combining the two approaches because it’s a joint family and even if we manage to keep our family onboard there will others who will have opinions of their own 😔
Hopefully the combination will work and this phase is gone as well
All the best!
Hi vidhya, I watched all ur videos, they are very helpfull, you should upload some recipes of food u cook for your boy.
Thank you, will do soon!
Want more videos from you. I am from Telangana.

I have a "whats in my diaper/carry on bag" for a flight, you may find some packing tips in that. All the best.
Hi Vidya.. For rice puree what rice do u use? white rice or brown rice? Also do u add salt to it?
sindhu ja use Parimal rice. Mixes great and cooks well. My peads recommend ed the same.
Vidya thankyou for your tips. I have 5 month old wanted to ask did you start with rice and dal cooked together for your son?
Yes I did, but he only had 1-2 spoons in the beginning.
+Feel good mama
Hi dal is giving her stomach ache I guess hence I started with avocado and banana puree .
Hi Vidya. Cuz I am in India I started with purée . I later learnt about baby led weaning. By then it was too late nd he just turned 9 months . Sometimes he wants puréed form food only. I’m trying to give him mashed food now. My questions are
1)how many times should u feed solids to a 9 month old
2) how many times should u breast feed
3) how much water to give in a day
9 months is not too late since he must still be getting nutrition from breastmilk or formula. You can try offering some soft finger foods like bananas for him to play with, eventually he will put it in his mouth. Let your baby lead the way.
1. I gave him 3 meals and a snack at 9 months (but he ate quite less at that point).
2. Breastfeeding really is baby led for me, I feed whenever he wants to
3. I offered water with meals/snacks. All other times he had breastmilk. I made sure to drink lots of water myself!
Hope this helps
Feel good mama thank u

hello vidya..... thku u dear for ths information once again😄😄😄..... i wanna tll u smthing .... that is my baby is nw 13 mnths old.... bt she does nt eat anything..... initially when i starts solids she loved nd enjoyed eating tym..... bt nw a days Shes nt eating anything plzz yaar help me.... hw should i make her to eat???
They go through stages when they become picky, best way is to just keep offering different foods without forcing her. Good luck!
Really helpful video. Love d way u speak. I am starting giving finger food to my 9.5 months old lo. So I gave her boiled carrots she took a piece n felt n ate a bit rest she just felt n then threw 😂. Shall I give her formula milk after that coz she is not full right? She will not have puree as far as I know her 😉
Give her formula/breastmilk as per usual until 1 year (for baby led weaning). Offer foods after half/one hour after feed, so that they are not too hungry, and want to explore. And if she doesn't want to, don't stress out, offer again later. They will catch on eventually if they are not pushed.
hi vidya.. that was great video.. thanks for sharing.. and I have couple of queries... once baby started eating solids(puree) do we need to offer water..? if yes how much can we give.. and if they eat really good in the beginning (before 6months) can we offer twice a day?? then how about fruit juice is it safe may be later with solids ??
I offered water a few times, but never forced him to drink, because at six months, they should get most of their hydration form breastmilk or formula. He would take a few sips from a sippy cup. For solids, I would suggest waiting until six months, because breastmilk is just so much more beneficial for them at this age. Ask your pediatrician for advice based on your baby's growth. I avoid juice because it is full of sugar, and give whole fruits or purees, which have fiber.
@@Feelgoodmama Thanks of answering.. mine drinks almost an oz... also she is try hard too poop from the beginning and has hard stools in recent months.. so I think giving water may ease her.. is that ok.. am I right vidhya??
@@Feelgoodmama yes.. her weight is low.. that's y I introduce her solids which her predictions also said..
If she is constipated, try foods/purees with more fiber, like prunes, pears, broccoli, sweet potatoes.Fiber and water together should move things along.
@@Feelgoodmama oh u are right.. her doctor to said to give pear... but he suggests giving pear juice (4 oz). I m not comfortable to give that much liquid other than milk .. that's why I asked you how about giving fruit and juices..
Thanks for such an informative video, love all your videos.
You said don’t give cow milk, but can give curds. Isn’t curds made from milk? I did not understand.
As far as I know, in yogurt or curd, lactose and protein are broken down and can be easily digested, so babies can have them. But still be aware of any reactions or allergies while introducing for the first time. And introduce gradually, with one new food at a time, just like all new foods.
hi Vidya...my twins are 10months now...they used to eat good their purees...but from last 3 4 weeks they are rejecting everything puree, fruits, finger foods, diff taste ,
texture tried everything... nothing is working out...most possible reason cud be teething...I heard it's a phase every baby passes...I wanna know ur experience if u have seen this too...how to deal with it...??
Yes teething definitely messes it up, keep offering different foods without forcing and keep an eye on their weight and energy levels. They go through phases when they become picky eaters, hang in there, they are still getting nutrition from breastmilk or formula.
Y no honey till one year

How to give cheese as snack
Asma Sultana you get snacking cheese which is a little harder, you can try those cheese cubes that we get. Or put it on toast. Paneer is an excellent source of calcium as well.
Feel good mama Can I roast paneer in pan with ghee and give him as a snack?
plzz do rply
