I have already tried carrots for my 6 month old. Should I first try beetroot separately with the 3 day rule before trying this recipe ?
You are doing a really good job by putting together so much info. Thank you 🙂
Hi Rinku,
Thanks a lot for your feedback dear. Each and every ingredient has to be given separately to check for the bowel movements. If baby is comfortable, you can proceed further.
From which month can we give beetroot for babies, mine is 7mo.
You can try now. Give in small quantities to rule out any allergy.
Ok thank you
