On completion of 10 months, you can basically start giving almost everything, except salt, sugar, honey, animal milk, and highly citrus fruits. So now, you can add the following things too in the list (for previous lists, Click Here and Click Here):
Urad Dal
Urad Dal is very nutritious having high amounts of proteins. It also provides Calcium, Iron and many Vitamins.
It should be avoided before 10 months because it may cause gas.
Tomato
Tomatoes are rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin B9, Vitamin K, and Iron.
Due to its acidic nature, it should be started after 10 months, and should be given in less amounts.
Zucchini
Zucchini provides Vitamin C and Antioxidants. It has many other health benefits too. Just make sure that it is not bitter.
Onion
Onion is a very healthy vegetable. Loaded with antioxidants, it improves immunity and prevents from many ailments.
Chapati
Now when the baby (hopefully) is able to chew a bit, softened chapatti can also be given.
Finger Food
Now you can try giving finger foods like boiled potato, carrot, broccoli etc., and soft food to chew, like cheela, idli etc.
- If you give idli, uttapam etc., please make the batter naturally fermented and do not use Eno or baking soda. Fermented food should be given in moderation.
- In all the Porridge, you can and you should add vegetables whichever are available at home, including tomato. It is good to add garlic too.
- By now, you must be adding Ghee also.
- You can also add crumbled Paneer.
