A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. It is advisable to give semi solid food items after the age of six months. Then you can give semi solid food items like banana and mashed potatoes and mashed apples, ragi to the baby. You can give homemade cerelac and vegetables puree to the baby. Also give suji kheer and daal paani to the baby. Start giving formula milk to the baby. You can also give mashed idli to the baby.
