Kame, yes, everything you said is fine. When they have cold, its better to avoid dairy products.

There are no restrictions what to feed when having a cold as the food will not have any impact on the illness. Usually kids loose their appetite when having a cold so anything that goes down is fine. It is important to get enough of fluids. No reason to avoid dairy products.

You can start giving butter. I started butter and ghee when my DD was 6.5 months old.

hi,

you can give all vegetables and pulses. may be avoid milk if baby coughs a lot.

KAME, you can start butter now when you want to make some carrots or toast etc. again, with my kid, I avoid dairy. But small portions should be fine.

Ghee is the same thing as butter, the only difference is that the water and milk protein has been removed from the ghee. Salt free butter and ghee can be given (in moderation of course) to babies.
