A. Till 6 months complete only breastfeeding or formula feed should be given. feeding should be done only on demand after completing 6 months you should start with water along with Dal water and rice water only in continuation with breast milk after completing 7 months you should start with Semi solid food like vegetable soup for fruits purry and then slowly move on for solid food so that the babies digestion remains good

A. At 6 months old, your baby is likely starting to explore solid foods in addition to breast milk. Breastfeeding frequency can vary among babies, but generally, you can continue breastfeeding as your baby shows interest in solid foods. Here are some guidelines: 1. **Breast Milk or Formula:** Breast milk or formula remains the primary source of nutrition for your 6-month-old. Continue offering breastfeeds as needed. 2. **Introduction of Solid Foods:** Introduce solid foods gradually, starting with single-ingredient purees and then progressing to a variety of textures and flavors. Offer solid foods 1-2 times a day. 3. **Responsive Feeding:** Follow your baby's cues for hunger. Breastfeed on demand and pay attention to signs of fullness. 4. **Night Feedings:** Night feedings may still be necessary, especially during the early months of introducing solid foods. Babies often continue night feedings for comfort and nutrition. 5. **Hydration:** Continue to offer breast milk or formula for hydration. Water is generally not necessary at this age, especially if breastfeeding. Always consult with your pediatrician for personalized advice based on your baby's growth, development, and individual needs. They can provide guidance on feeding schedules and the introduction of solid foods.
