A. Start once baby is 6 month old. Start dal water ,rice water in 1-2 teaspoons. As baby accepts ,give Moong dal rice mix,. wheat rice or Ragi porridge. Make sure to give mashed, pureed fruits like papaya, banana, steamed apple, and boiled mashed veggies like pumpkin, bottle gourd, beetroot, carrot, brocolli, beans. Breastfeeding 4-5 times a day and in night. Give water in between feeds , around 6 to 7 months, at least 2 meals is a norm you must keep a gap of 3 days between two new foods. Practice good hygiene by hand-washing with soap and water before preparing food, before feeding the child and after using the toilet.

A. Start with Dal or chawal ka pani, after few days start with Fruit purees like apples, pear, avacado, papaya, mashed banana, vegetable puree like carrots, pumpkin, peas, mashed sweet potato or potatoes, pulses, porridge like ragi or oats, veg rice, dal rice, veg kichdi, RASAM rice, steamed idli, home made cereals. Start with easily digestible foods first during day time and then move on to the heavy ones. Also start one food at a time and wait for two to three days to see if it suits your baby and then start something new again. Always follow this two day gap rule between introducing new foods and start any new food only during day time. Also avoid using sugar and salt until the baby is one year old. The babies get the required sugar and salt from all the solid food items , breastmilk or formula they intake. They don't need any additional salt or sugar to be added. Baby will not realise the taste until it is introduced and won't find it blunt as like adults. So baby will accept the blunt taste without salt and sugar until we introduce it.
