A. Hello good afternoon !! As baby is 5 months old (6 month started) you can start semi solids once a day and rest of the day milk either breastfeed or formula feed every two hours. Babies double their birth weight by 5-6 months. The ideal weight should be 6-9kg. Feed fruits and vegetables puriees, mashes, cerelac malts,dal water, rice starch,soups.
