About: Hi, I am the cool-chef behind www.c4cooking.com :). I am not sure if I love cooking.. but I love to cook the ideas that pop up in me :). Some ideas are cool and some sounds strange until you try it :D .. Follo…

Here is the next set of baby food recipes ( Stage 2 - baby food recipes) that you can offer your 7+ months baby. Hope your little-one loves them :)

I have added 7 recipes along with the video :
2 Breakfast recipes in Steps 1 & 2
5 Lunch recipes in Steps 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Tips:

  • Around 7+ months your baby may eat between 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup of food and often will be ready for 2 or 3 meals
  • At this stage, you can offer thicker purees and mashed foods. See video of
    recipe #2 - Rice, Parsnip & Orange sweet potato under 'Lunch options' to prepare mashed foods for babies.
  • Offer solids atleast 25-30 minutes after breast feeding/formula so that they will eat without any fuss and wouldn't make their tummy full.
  • I always give solids 40 - 45 minutes after breastfeeding as I noticed she eats well and loves eating food:)
  • Remember to offer some water before and after meals.

Important note : Always watch for any new signs or symptoms when introducing new foods at all stages.
