Question

Accepted Answer

should be starred only after 6 mons of age and that too in semisolid form increase the consistency slowly for promoting proper weight gain of the baby, you need to give a proper balanced diet that meets nutritional requirement according to the age for normal growth.you can add dairy products like curd, cheese or butter and mix into the food items as well as give all homemade preparations.. apart from this you should give all seasonal fruits and vegetables introduced in different flavours to develop interest of the baby.
 it is very important to make the the feeding a gaming activity rather than forcing the child to eat.
 you should avoid any kind of junk food in between meals and do not give lot of milk too,so that the baby should feel hungry for proper meals.
you should also give protein rich diet preferably egg and paneer etc. in the milk you can mix any good health supplement powder like kids Pro  or nangrow if the baby is above 2yrs of age or dry fruits powder if possible.
you can get your child examined by pediatrician once to rule out any other possibility that will affect the growth and diet of the baby.

Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much and it is always advisable to give baby breastfeeding exclusively for the first six months and you have to wait for another month to start semi solid.
Take care
