My 1 year old baby eats veggies in khichdi but how do I make sure he is taking enough fruits in a day?
A. When N was 1 year old, I stopped steaming, blending and pureeing fruits for her. She enjoyed eating fruits as is. I used to cut and peel apple slices coz she did not like the peel and she ate them happily. Her grandpa used to peel orange slices, deseed them and even take out their inner peel and offer. She also ate pomegranate though I was scared of those seeds initially but she ended up loving pomegranate. We offered most fruits such as papaya, banana, grape halves etc. just as is – no stewing or anything. Like my pediatrician says, babies’ preferences keep changing. So don’t worry too much – just give him what they seems to like. Will update with more FAQs as and when I remember…
