By this time, most babies develop the ability to sit with support, show interest in food, and lose the tongue-thrust reflex, which helps them swallow solids better. Start with single-ingredient purees like mashed fruits (banana, apple), boiled vegetables (carrot, sweet potato), and rice or dal water. Gradually introduce different textures and iron-rich foods while continuing breast milk or formula as the primary nutrition source. Avoid salt, sugar, honey, and cow’s milk before one year. Always monitor for allergies and introduce new foods one at a time every 3–5 days.
