Till 6 months complete only breastfeeding or formula feed should be given
after completing 6 months you should start with water along with Dal water and rice water only in continuation with breast milk
after completing 7 months you should start with Semi solid food like vegetable soup for fruits purry and then slowly move on for solid food so that the babies digestion remains good

SanthoshiMom of 2 children1 Year agoA. A baby’s salt requirement per day is less than 1 g per day like only 0.4g of sodium and this is mostly met by the breastmilk or formula. So any extra salt will be a burden on the tiny kidneys and the kidney’s will not be able to function properly due to the excessive load. This may lead to kidney disease same for sugar
