Baby Food Recipe – Carrot, potato, rice baby food
Baby food recipe for 6 months old
Once babies have been introduced to single food solids, you can go on to introduce her to complex or mixed solids.
You must remember our 10 types of khichdi recipes which are perfect mixed foods for babies and toddlers.
Today, I am sharing one more simple yet mixed ingredient recipe that can be given to babies between 6-7 months. Carrot, potato rice is a wholesome baby food, which provides energy as well as other nutrients to baby’s growing body. This baby food is also easy to digest and can be given to baby once s/he has been introduced to solid food for a few weeks.
The carrot, potato rice baby food can be given to baby as lunch or dinner and will keep baby full for a good amount of time.
