FNC Weekly Meal Plan For Babies 9 months and above #09

Sharing C&I’s meal plan for this week.
The three meal a day plan will ease your worries of what to feed your infant or toddler daily. I have tried to include portions of fruit , vegetables , good carbohydrates, a protein rich dinner and healthy fats in each day’s menu .
If you do not take eggs , you can replace them with other protein rich dinner options (mentioned below) .

The menu includes usual food items , the ingredients for which you must have introduced to your baby by 9 months . If not start with a small portion and see how it goes.
Any feedback will be welcome, I will be improvising menus according to your requirements .
If you require any specific recipe or method of preparation, reach us on our facebook page .

I prefer ghee to prepare babyfood.
You can add banana mash or apple puree to the Oats Porridge to add taste.
I use farm fresh pasteurised cow milk to prepare yogurt and paneer at home.
Parantha can be given in small bite sizes soaked in milk for softer consistency.
Fruit yogurt can be prepared at home by using blended strawberries/ Blueberries/ Mango / banana or seedless grapes. Just mix the blend with fresh yogurt / hung curd / plain Greek yogurt.
When starting with Egg first introduce yolk , followed by egg white when the child turns 1 year old.
Dalia can be made with vegetables or milk alone , keep consistency runny.
