#asktheexpert Can I start semi solid rice porridge for 4.5 months old if the head is stable ?

A. Hello dear parent! Ideally semi solids and water should be given only after 6 months completion. Till then the baby should be either exclusively breastfed or formula fed only. Both the breastmilk and formula milk will suffice the hydration and nutrition requirements of your baby. Good luck and take care.
