#AskTheExpert hello doc my baby is a preterm baby with 31wks she is born on 2nd jan so want to know when do i have to give her daal ka paani n other lifht food items

A. You should include semi solid foods in baby's diet from 5-6 months onwards only. So, from 2nd June, your baby's 5th month will start and if you want, you can start giving it, but only in smaller quantity. Start slow with 4-6 spoons per serving and twice a day. Give lentil puree, mashed banana, apple, carrots and pear puree, mixed vegetable soup, khichdi, ragi and sooji porridge, etc.
