#AskTheExpert hello doctor, my baby is going to turn 6 months by 2nd August.. i havent yet started solid food. he is on exclusive breast feeding+ minimal formula feed.. i would like to know if i can start solids 15 days before as i have to join back to work and see how my baby cope up with food.

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. Regularly massage your baby with Babyhug cold pressed coconut oil. Consult your child’s doctor for further advice. Good luck and take care.
