01:03	Please note that while feeding the baby, the quantity of food should be measured using cups and spoons
01:12	as it has been explained in another tutorial of the same series.
01:18	When the baby completes 6 months - initially start with 1 tablespoon twice a day, then gradually go up to 4 tablespoons twice a day.
01:29	And, only well cooked, pureed form of the food should be given.
01:34	Now we will see, how non-vegetarian foods are important for the babies.
01:40	All the non-vegetarian foods are rich in good fats, protein and many other micronutrients.
01:48	These nutrients are essential for proper growth and development of the babies and their brain development.
01:56	The recommended foods to be given to the babies are cage-free poultry,
02:02	eggs, meat and all kinds of fish except for shellfish which can be introduced after 1 year of age.

02:18	Do not give any processed meat and raw food to the baby.
02:23	It should be cooked thoroughly.
