- Weaning Diet Plan
Weaning is a crucial transition from breast milk or formula to solid foods, typically starting around 6 months of age. At Ishir Clinic, we provide expert guidance on a nutrient-rich, age-appropriate weaning diet plan to ensure healthy growth and development.
Weaning Stages & Recommended Foods
✅ Stage 1 (6–7 months): Introducing Single Foods
- Start with smooth purees (one new food at a time)
- First foods: Mashed banana, apple puree, steamed and mashed carrot, pumpkin, or sweet potato
- Iron-rich foods: Mashed lentils, soft rice, or dal water
- Feeding tips: Begin with small spoonfuls once or twice a day
✅ Stage 2 (7–9 months): Texture Progression
- Gradually introduce thicker purees and soft solids
- New additions: Mashed avocado, well-cooked oats, ragi porridge, yogurt, mashed boiled egg yolk
- Proteins: Well-cooked and mashed moong dal, soft tofu, fish (deboned), and chicken puree
- Encourage self-feeding with finger foods like soft fruit slices, boiled veggies
✅ Stage 3 (9–12 months): Family Foods Introduction
- Introduce soft, mashed versions of family meals
- Healthy options: Dalia (broken wheat), khichdi, idli, vegetable upma, soft chapati soaked in dal
