I started Semi-solids for Nevan a lil before 6 months, was too curious to begin and Nevan was okay with it too. But had read about the Four-Day Rule at a lot of places & it was even suggested by my pedia & other recent mommies. So I highly recommend this to every mom beginning to introduce semi-solids for their lil ones....
Usually lentil soups are the first foods as they are light & easy to go with the baby system. So begin this with a few spoons during the day time (usually before 4pm) and continue it for four-days around the same time to analyse if there are any allergic reactions due to it.
According to studies & pediatricians, introduction of food should not happen before 6 months but I believe its a generalized statement and you should read your child's symptoms & requirement for his readiness for semi-solids. I will write a separate blog for that so now let's come to the FOUR-DAY RULE.
 |
| Nevan's food introduction: 'Dal ka Pani in Silver Utensils' |
Indicators to note would be as follows:
- Any rashes/red spots developed over a particular part or all over the body
- Vomiting the food consumed : which is different from Reflux
- Loose Motions
Please be careful to note for these symptoms as it is very important to keep in check any kind of allergic reactions in your baby as he/she would not be able to speak or tell about their discomfort.
Options for first foods: Lentil Soup ( Moong-Dhuli dal ka pani), Diluted Apple Juice (1:5 ratio to begin with), Barley water
