what to cook ?............food for eight to ten month old baby

baby self feeding India

Is ur baby grabing food from ur plate?
My little girl started picking food(mostly rice) from our plate and feed herself around 8 months.
By eighth or nine months most babies have developed enough eye-hand coordination to pick up small objects with their fingers.

Is he more interested in food u are eating more than food offered to him?
I have observed that babies love textures and colours in food,my baby usually picks the pieces of carrots or peas,or rice from our plate.The food which we offer to babies lacks that vividness,(usually a boring looking puree or with some lumps),so they are more interested in our food which have more textures and

Foods to avoid in the first year of baby


For a first time mother,its very important to know which food shud be avoided during the first yr as people usually gives some these to babies much before whn they are supposed to.
parents are usually too eager to give softdrinks,chips and choclates to babies much before whn babies actually ask for it.

Salt and Sugar- u wud find urself mostly fighting with ur MIL on this topic,as people generally think that how come baby wud like food without salt and sugar whn adults can't.

The Maid of Honour

Now u all be surprised what I am writing about ? But yes I am talking about that one person that daily comes to our house,cleans the dishes ,do dusting,tidy up our rooms,help us  to take care of our little babies .................all that without any weekend for herself to enjoy.
Today is Monday and we all set up to go to our work after a lazy weekend but for her......................there is no such word like lazy weekend in her dictionary. Somehow we all forget to give her that Honour that is due,we donot say Thankyou for all  her help.....but yes we all complain as all bosses do to their employees.
But if we complain whn something done wrong,we shud appericiate too whn they do something good,dont you think so?
 
Yesterday,I watched Zee CINE Awards,and THE KING KHAN dedicated all his respect to to the lovely maids who work at his house and dedicated the Aashiqui song.......

What to cook for Seven month old baby ?

photo by jhecking/CC BY
Nothing much different from a six month old,only less pureed ;more lumps and textures and more finger foods.By 7 months u may give ur baby 3 meals a day ,but it all depends upon parents choice and babies interest.

Mashed and lumpy foods
Its good for ur baby to get used to lumpy and chopped foods by now if u have not started by six months.If u wont introduce some lumps and give only purees,
