When did you start dal water / soup with rice?
Baby is 7 months, started solids at 6. Mum-in-law is pushing for dal water + rice mash but I've read mixed things on starting pulses this early. Anyone here started dal around 7 months? Any reactions to watch for?

Started moong dal water at 6.5 months — well-cooked, strained, no spices. No issues. Avoided masoor until 8 months because it's harder to digest. Just introduce on its own for 3 days first like any new food.

Pediatrician okayed moong dal khichdi at 7 months for us. Start thin, watch for any rash/loose stools for 2-3 days. We had no issues.
