A. Hai good evening !! Yes semi solid foods, mashed foods, semi mashed are suggested at this stage.. Once baby starts teething then you can give finger foods like vegetables, fruits chopped as fingers, wedges, steamed... Start finger foods after baby starts teething ,feed finger foods in your or any elders presence - as veggies, fruits are steamed, ripen fruits like banana, mango, papaya babies will bite, tries to bite with gums fruits, veggies will be mashed so there would be no chances of choking issues
