Curd (homemade) is cool in nature and full of health benefits. It is advisable to start giving curd, as the baby steps to 6 months of age. You can give it mixed with fruits or in the normal way as the baby likes.

Its regular intake will keep baby’s tummy cool which is best in summers. For elder kids, you can also give buttermilk or curd rice with some cumin powder and salt in it.
