Mango rice can be a tasty and nutritious food option for babies, as long as they are at least 6 months old and have started eating solid foods. Here's a simple recipe for mango rice suitable for babies:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup cooked rice (preferably soft and well-cooked)
- 1/2 ripe mango, peeled and mashed
- 1-2 tablespoons of formula/breast milk or water (if needed)
Instructions:
1. Mash the cooked rice with a fork to break up any clumps and make it easier for your baby to eat.
2. In a separate bowl, mash the ripe mango until smooth.
3. Combine the mashed mango with the rice, and mix well.
4. If the mixture seems dry, you can add a small amount of formula/breast milk or water to make it more moist and easier to eat. Adjust the consistency according to your baby's preference..
5. Serve the mango rice to your baby in small, manageable portions.
Always remember to introduce new foods to your baby one at a time and watch out for any signs of allergies or discomfort. It's also recommended to consult with your pediatrician before introducing new recipes to your baby's diet.
