When my little one, Brat H, hit this stage, I delved into the world of Indian baby food recipes, starting with a medley of fruits, cereals, pulses, rice, and vegetables. As I navigate the journey of introducing solids, I’m constantly exploring new options to ensure a well-rounded diet for my 8-month-old munchkin. The quest for wholesome and delectable baby food recipes is endless, but it’s all part of the fulfilling journey of parenthood.

Next month, he will be in the 9-12 months old age group! I know!! Time flies. Since he is getting bigger, he can eat various foods that are cooked in our family meal. Depending on the appetite, the infant needs to be fed 2-3 meals. Include 1-2 snacks to your baby having a variety of fruits and vegetables.
