It will be harsh for the baby's still developing digestive system. If u cannot breastfeed due to various reasons you can consult with your pediatrician and start formula for your baby. Breastmilk is the best brain developing food. WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding until six months.
After six months u can start with any of these weaning foods which are also brain friendly like apples, banana, avacado, sweet potato, carrots, pumpkin and oatmeal.
Keep interacting with your baby, make him feel safe, sleep well and help him engage socially. This will boost his brain.
You can show age appropriate books or flash cards and help ur baby learn new things. Babies grasp quickly at young age.
