Best food for your child is Ragi mix with almonds and cashews. It is available as' Ragi Rich' in both medical and general outlets. And also try boiling a cup of vagetables with Dal and then grind it and feed it. Your child should like it! Happy feeding.

Ideally, you must avoid pacakaged and dabba foods, and should feed him naturals foods, like rice powder, mashed bananas, healthy biscuits dipped in milk, soups, dals, juices etc...

Your 18 month old baby should be able to eat whatever you eat,approximately half of your diet.You have to keep only following things in mind,
1.Soft and non-spicy items.
2.Easily digestible items.
3.Frequent and small meals.

18 month old baby can have grindin rice powder. Dont for get baby at that age wants to eat everything. You can give mashed vegetables, soft meat, eggs also you can give fruits. They will enjoy all this. Try not to add sugar or salt in excess.

Optimally, children should progress in the following order: formula, formula with rice cereal, Stage I (thin baby food), Stage II (thicker baby food), Stage III (lumpy and textured), junior foods, and regular table foods. Each consistency assists with the progression to the next. Once your child will accept Stage II baby foods consistently, slowly add textures (small pieces of bananas to Stage II ). Additionally, consistency is the key. Provide structured mealtimes (in high chair or booster seat), ignoring negative behaviors (i.e., gagging, crying, etc). Establish routine feed times and most of all, always make mealtime FUN! Allow messiness and play with food (i.e., smear baby food on tray and allow child to put hands in). Feeding therapy may provide further assistance with techniques for battling oral aversions.

Your baby is in the final stage you should be able to give him table food,that the rest of the family or give him specially textured food if you are hard pressed for time.Although make sure your baby has progressed through the stages as I mentions above.
