A. yes, you may start semi solid food once your baby complete 6 month.. till than continue with Breast feeding or formula feeding, vit d drops, take very extra care of your child

A. U Should start with semisolid food at the age of six months only it really does not make a difference whether a child is full term one or peter you should start with semisolid food after completing the age of 96 months for the child whether it is the actual age or the other one that you are talking about so yes after the age of six months you can start and the child is gaining really good weight as of now

He also had problem in sucking breast milk which he learnt after 2 weeks. Are these problems happened because of early delivery ? I had immediate c section due to water breakage.
