A. Hello father as the baby is 5 months now you can introduce the baby to weaning foods initially start with liquids for them . Such as dal or rice water or vegetable soup or fresh fruit juices and alternate it mothers feed . You need introduce one food at a time and as the baby gets used to it you can gradually move to semi solids from 6 months
