Accepted Answer

Hi, usually the baby will get double the birth weight by six months and triple the birth weight by one year. Your baby weight is good. You can give five solid feed in a day. You can start with porridge, vegetable purée, fruit purée, water, Dal water. You can also start egg white. But make sure to smash it and feed.
when you’re trying any food for the first time try it with a small quantity and if baby has no allergy then you can increase the quantity next time.
Avoid salt, sugar, honey, citric fruits, dry fruits, cow milk until baby completes one year￼.
