POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. At 6 months old, your baby (7.4 kg weight) is ready to start solid foods along with continued breastfeeding or formula. This is an important stage to help him get used to new tastes and textures. Here's a simple guide:
How to Start Initial Solids: Start with 1–2 tsp once a day, and gradually increase the quantity and variety. Always offer new food in the morning or noon, not at night. Best First Foods: Rice water / Moong dal water (strained thin) Mashed banana (ripe) Steamed and mashed apple (no peel) Boiled and mashed carrot or pumpkin Suji (semolina) kheer (with water or breastmilk, no sugar/salt) Ragi porridge (homemade) How to Give: Soft, mashed or pureed texture One new food every 3–5 days Avoid sugar, salt, honey, cow milk Continue Breastfeeding/Formula: Offer breastmilk/formula on demand, especially before or after solid feeds.
If the baby accepts food well, you can increase to 2 solid meals a day in a few weeks. Always observe for allergies or reactions
