Friends,
Which dal I should give to my 7month baby moong dal or tur dhal?
Yestrday I gave tur dhal nd my baby was crying the whole day.i thought tur dhal might created some gastric trouble..

Start with moong dal. Its more safe and easier to digest for the babies.
BTW, your DP is very nice. You have a very cute baby..and wow what a cute pose

@cutesri just like others have mentioned start with moong dal. Start with only 1 tbsp then gradually increase the quantity depending on how your baby reacts.

Can I add salt at this age?

My paed advised me not use salt till DD was 1 year of age. I started using salt when DD was 10.5 months old. LO's do not need salt in the start.

You can give moong dal and toor dal.

Cook some toor dal, add water to it. and make it thin. Boil it with little salt ,add tadka to it, mix it rice and feed her. Dont give only toor dal.

You can feed toor dal but only one spoon and that is also with rice and ghee. the mix should be like paste. then only she can digest easily. It is best to feed babies with rice, toor dal and tamarind rasam. I have feed my daughter till 1yr with same food.
