    Hi dr Hema

    I love your work. Thank you.

    How can we give kitchdi to babies ( like 8-9 months) when they still don’t have teeth?

    They will swallow it whole right. Should we give mashed food till teeth come?

      It’s definitely our pleasure. Baby’s gums can also chew the basic foods like rice, dal etc. So kindly cook it well and feed the baby. Please feed little by little to check how comfortably baby accepts it.

    Hello Dr. Hema,

    Thank you for all the lovely helpful recipes.
    With regards to the kichdi recipes, if we use brown matta rice instead of white are the number of whistles the same?

    I only tried making kichdi once first with 3 whistles and since the rice was not fully cooked another 3 whistles. But even after 6 whistles the rice was still not soft enough. Not sure if I did something wrong. Please advise what I could change

      Welcome ๐Ÿ™‚ While using brown rice, you can soak it for sometime and then cook using the pressure cooker. Soaking would make it easy to get cooked.

      Hi Milan,

      You can introduce pumpkin and giving khichdi is also fine. Passing motion after meal is normal. it is because of the physiological process which happens after eating. As soon as the food reaches the stomach, it starts a peristaltic wave which pushes the stools in the rectum. This happens only after digestion. So you donโ€™t have to worry about that as long as baby does not cry during potty or pass blood.

    Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes, my baby really enjoys them. She is 9 months old and has a problem with rice as she gets constipated after eating it. So I couldnโ€™t give her any rice recipe till now but I want her to get used to it as rice is major part of our meal. Please help me out how I can give her rice without constipating her.

      Hey Afia,

      There are many recipes that you can try to feed your child with rice. Initially when you are feeding rice to your child feed 1 or 2 sips of water for every spoon of the feed and give ample of water for the child to digest the given food.

      Apart from the white rice you can try feeding your child with millets,brown rice, red rice etc. Which not only helps and increases the nutrition it also helps in other minor infractions such as constipation,diarrhea etc in children.

    Hi, my baby is a now ayear old and still doesn’t accept mashed food – so i blend the khichdis. If i follow the proportions and blend – it becomes very liquid like soup which i feel isn’t good nutrition enough – as my doc tellls me i need to give solid food not soupy liquid food to a one year old. Please help – am miserable ๐Ÿ™ she is a fussy eater and doesnt eat so its tough enough as it is.

    secondly how can i make soffft paranthas without adding too much ghee and how much ghee is allowable for a baby? one year old – doc says 1 tsp only – difficult to mk soft parantha in one tsp or soft dosa for that matter.

      Hi Mallika,

      It is common that babies get used to mashed food and transition to solids can be difficult. You can try the following methods

      1. For picky eaters, feed power packed foods like avocado, yogurt, tofu, eggs, veggies (such as carrots and squash) that re highly nutritious.

      2. Slowly change the consistency from liquid to semi solid and then solid, the transition may not happen overnight, it takes a lot of patience to stick to it.

      3. Try to give her healthy finger foods that are soft and easily chewable.

      Yes, one spoon of ghee is the required amount for one day, try to make the dough little earlier, maybe then the parathas may turn soft

        While making dough can even add curd , sometimes boiled potatoes say one spoon โ€ฆthis is how I make the parathas soft .
        I add boiled veggies to the dough to make veg paratha ,
        I add dal to the dough โ€ฆ

        This mean while kneading dough , i add these ingredients which make wonderful parathas for babies..My baby loves it ..

    Thanks Dr Hema for your informative website – very helpful for new moms like me.
    My daughter is prescribed antibiotics for uti. She also has lots of gas and constipation troubles. During antibiotics can I introduce garlic and cumin 1 by 1? The only herb/ spice introduced so far is ginger. She is 25 months old.
    Is it ok to write to your email? Thanks God bless you
