From Shoaib Ibrahim feeding Ruhaan for the first time to following doctors' advice; Dipika Kakar gives a detailed insight about her munchkin's soft solid meals

Dipika Kakar has been enjoying her motherhood phase with the little munchkin Ruhaan. She often talks about her motherhood journey with her fans in her vlogs. This time Dipika gave detailed insight into Ruhaan's soft-solid eating schedule. She also spoke about what she has been advised by the doctor to feed Ruhaan and what shouldn't be fed till a certain age.

Dipika shared that they have recently begun feeding Ruhaan soft solids, she said, "From the past few days we have begun to feed Ruhaan soft solids. He loves having papaya, even pumpkin is his favourite. He also likes bananas but doesn't like eating apples and pears.

Dipika further shared how few fruits don't suit him, "Apple didn't suit him, maybe because of that he didn't like it. I fed him apples for two days consecutively, there was a lot of bloating and then he cried due to uneasiness. Apples don't suit me as well so I am assuming that this would be the reason."

Dipika shared how they are still trying to understand what Ruhaan likes to eat, "We are in the trial and error phase where we are following the 3-day rule with all the fruits and veggies. The rule is about feeding the baby the same thing for 3 consecutive days so that we come to know whether the baby likes the food or not. That helps us to rule out things. I have also started giving mashed carrots, and potatoes to him and he is liking it."

Dipika answered fans' most asked question and gave a reason, "A lot of people have asked me why I am not feeding dal pani to Ruhaan. Even when we were young, they fed us. Before even water was fed very soon to the babies. My father also told me that they used to feed me water just like milk. But we have been following the doctors' advice and they had asked us not to give dal pani strictly. It is somewhere suiting Ruhaan."

Dipika shared that she is following doctors' guidelines, "But today, the doctors refuse and advise us to only feed breastmilk for 6 months. I have been following this, for 6 months he was exclusively on my breastmilk. We are only following what our doctors have been guiding us. They are not wrong, a lot of people follow mothers' advice. It is just that Ruhaan is much more comfortable with the doctors' guidelines."

Dipika shared how she has been trying out new soft solid meals for Ruhaan in gaps of 7 days, "Every 7 days we introduce a new meal for Ruhaan. Strictly following the instructions and not feeding him dal pani, fruit juices, soups and all. We started with fruit puree and mashed veggies. Slowly have started to make him have khichdi."

Dipika further shared how she made a schedule for Ruhaan's meals, "We started with one meal, a fruit in the morning. Slowly we added two meals to his schedule where he has a fruit in the morning and then mashed veggies in the evening or some khichdi. Apart from that, the feed is still on so whenever he needs it. Slowly we are adding new things to his soft solids."

Dipika shared a heartfelt moment, "This will be the first time, Ruhaan will be eating his first dinner with us as we go out for Sara's birthday. This moment had to be captured as Shoaib finally got a chance to feed Ruhaan for the first time. Nothing could be better than Shoaib feeding Ruhaan is first proper meal and our little boy happily ate all the khichdi that I had packed for him."
