Accepted Answer

it is very important to introduce food gradually after completion of 6 months of age and you can give food made from cereals pulses vegetables milk and fruits gradually. you have to just take care of two important factors that introduce only one new food at a time so that you are able to find whether the child is able to digest that food or not and it should be in the form in which the child can swallow

Hi dear good afternoon For water or juice any other food your baby should have completed six months. This is because only milk provides all the necessary nutrients. And early solid foods will lead to stomach ups Intilaly simple purees like carrot, potato, banana and simple waters like rice or dal water can be given. These are easy digesting foods for baby. Then second week you can continue with other purees or combination of two fruits veggies, the third week you can give instant homemade rice cereal. Slowly you can add a veggie or fruit to the rice cereal this would give a different taste. One meal a day is enough for six month old baby. With few spoons of water
