A. so what should i make him feed in semi solid any suggestions

POOJA GOSWAMIMom of 2 children4 years ago

A. It is recommended to introduce semi solid foods in baby's diet only between the age of 5-6 months. You can now feed foods apart from milk as it will be helpful not only to increase weight but also for overall physical and mental growth. Start slow with 4-6 spoons per serving and twice a day .
