Dal Soup for Babies with step by step pictures. This is made with Toor Dal, turmeric powder and Garlic. Healthy and wholesome soup recipe for babies.
I have mentioned that i have been feeding maha soups daily, she is loving it. I make different soups daily and feed her. Add different veggies in here soups too. I have already posted a dal spinach soup. This is a plain simple dal soup, but very nutritious. Check out my other soup recipes too.
I have shared two version of this soup. A clear one and a thick one. For younger babies you can feed dal clear soup. But maha doesn't like the clear soup. So i puree the whole dal with all the ingredients added and make it thick and creamy..She loves it that way.

Hi Aarthi,
Good to find month wise useful baby food recipes here.
My baby will complete 5 months on 5th May. I find her hungry every hr n half. Does this mean I need to start her on alternate feed or continue only breast/formula milk till she turns 6 months?
Also, the jaggery u use is of palm or sugarcane?
Thanks.
Aarthi

Feeding bottles ought to be washed and sterilized lots since your baby would wish regarding eight feedings during a day. to boot, you would possibly be impatient to travel back to figure and would wish additional bottles to store your own milk sure your baby after you are at work see more information.
