Accepted Answer

Hello dear parent! For the first one year the baby should be either breastfed or formula fed only. You can start giving small quantities of semi solids like homemade cerelac, mashed vegetables and fruits, ragi, daal or chaaval paani. Give sips of water in between meals. Continue breastfeeding. Good luck and take care.
