Hello mam, my 18 months old baby girl is not gaining weight, is allergic to milk and dairy products and even egg.
Plz give me some homemade veg recipes that can help her gain weight
Hi,
Please don’t worry of weight if your baby is active and healthy. However, if you wish to increase her weight, There are many weight gaining foods that you can feed your baby with like Dry Fruits powder, Ragi, Potato, Sweet Potato, Health mixes, Kerala Banana Powder, Pear, Peas, Avocado, Banana, Coconut Oil etc (consult with your doctor if baby is allergic to any of the ingredients and then proceed with a diet plan).
Mix curd and banana ( without rice ) and feed to baby …give it as snack between meals ( don’t include fruits with meal as it causes gas.
Peanut with jaggery ( make at home with pure ghee ) , this also helps in gaining weight.
Before sleeping , pure honey with milk.
most of the recipes are suitable after a year of age then why these are mentioned under 11month baby food chart. it’s misleading plz make proper chart. i always refer foodcharts but then while reading comments come to know at what age it should be given
Hi Priti,
Thank you for the feedback. We include few healthy recipes of toddlers here, but the recipes has to be changed a bit for babies. If the recipe involves sugar, jaggery, milk and honey. That ingredient should be excluded. For example. You can make ragi laddu with ragi powder, ghee, dry fruits, cardamom powdered and exclude sugar. This is highly nutritious and small pieces of it can be given as finger foods.
