I have missed the blogging world for the longest time now. After I had my second baby about one and a half years ago I got really busy with baby care. This time around it was more difficult than last time as now I even had the elder one to take care of. However, being a true foodie at heart, whenever I found the time I would continue to bake. I couldn’t share it with you all as with an infant I did not find the time to shoot or blog about whatever I made. I remember when my baby was a month old I ran into the kitchen and baked a yummy cake for myself. I was bored of all the bland, post-natal care food and stuffed my face with big chunks of chocolate cake
Besides having the baby there is another reason that’s kept me busy. I have been writing a book on Indian Baby Food recipes. What else would I do with all the baby food I have been making?
I started writing them down when I introduced solids to my first kid. That was when I shared some of those recipes on my blog. Today with another baby and going through the same phase again I thought its a good idea to compile whatever information I have into a book so its helpful to other mothers like me.
I got my information over the last few years from my mother and grandmother. My baby’s pediatrician also helped me understand what ingredients were permitted for my baby at each stage. I put all this information down into an eBook which will soon be available on amazon. (Update: Book published on Amazon on 13th Apr. Do check it out!)
Do visit my site on Indian Baby food Recipes and leave your mail ID if you would like to receive more information on Baby Food.

Congratulations Roma. I am eagerly waiting for the eBook. My sister is expecting her 1st baby & I am sure your book will be helpful. All the Best.

Hi,
I tried to buy this book from Amezon.com, but no success. It is saying “No Kindle available for this item”. How to proceed?

Hi Pradeep,
There was a slight problem with kdp not recognizing the login ID used to publish the book. They are taking a couple of days to verify that the login under which I published the book is actually authorized to publish and distribute.
Please try again in 2 days time.
Thanks,

Hi Roma,
Just saw your link while searching on google for baby foods.
My daughter is 11 months old and she is a very choosy eater. As i am working mother, it is very difficult to find time to feed her. Her naay and my mother in law help in feeding her throughout the day.
Your blog is wonderful and extremely useful for moms like me.
Until recently my baby was having mix veggie soup i gave her the evening after coming back from office, sometimes khichdi and hardly a few times dal and roti mashed with blender.But nowadays, she turns her face away from anything we try to give her. What could be the probable reason for this kind of behaviour and what should i do to make her routine filled with a healthy diet.
Kindly advise.
Regards,
Priyanka
There are several reasons that could be causing this behavior :
1) Are you still feeding your milk to the baby? If yes, She might be avoiding food to gain a feed from you.
2) Is she having a cold or a nose block? That could reduce her appetite.
3) Her taste buds are developing around this age. She might not really like the taste of what is being fed. In which case you might need to explore other recipes.
4) May be food is being given to her too frequently. That way her appetite is not given a chance to build up.
Try to space her feeds out and try some different and tasty food for her. If she still doesnt respond she might be having a stomach problem. Please consult a doctor.
Hope this helps.
Hi Di …
This book is going to be of a great help to me… Aadi is 8 mnths now … and I was searching the web for baby food, just to make things little more interesting for him… not knowing that such a nice book has been published within the family itself
… Thank you for documenting your experiences … this is going to be my most reliable encylopedia on baby foods now… as soon as I got to know about the book , I shared the information with some of my friends who would love to follow your reciepies and blog, and must have registered by now … Please keep sharing your baby experiences … I will seek lots of advices from you …
Take care and Luv to kids…
