#AskTheExpert my baby girl is 4.5 months old. I have to join my office on 20th sept. by when I can start to give her solid food and how?

A. It is recommended to introduce semi solid foods in baby's diet between the age of 5-6 months as by then their immunity and digestive system develop a bit.You can start both lentil puree, mashed banana, apple, carrot and pear puree, mixed vegetable soup, khichdi, ragi and sooji porridge, home made cerelac, etc. Start slow with 4-6 spoons per serving and twice a day.
