A. It looks like you meant "when to start solids" for your 5.5-month-old baby. You can start solids at 6 months, but if your baby shows readiness signs, you can introduce soft, easily digestible foods now. Signs Baby is Ready for Solids ✅ Sits with support ✅ Shows interest in food ✅ Can hold head steady ✅ Opens mouth when offered food First Foods to Start With (One at a Time for 3-5 Days) 🥄 Fruits: Mashed banana, apple puree, chikoo, pear 🥄 Vegetables: Carrot puree, sweet potato, pumpkin 🥄 Grains: Rice cereal, ragi porridge, moong dal khichdi 🥄 Others: Plain curd, mashed dal Tips for Feeding ✔ Start with 1-2 teaspoons once a day and increase gradually ✔ Feed smooth, runny consistency ✔ Continue breastfeeding/formula as the main food ✔ Avoid salt, sugar, honey, cow’s milk before 1 year Let me know if you need a detailed meal plan!
