A. that is very obvious because it take times to switch to new foods After 6 month complete you can start weaning your child with simple foods that are prepared at home or cerelac, nestum kind of Pre- prepared baby foods. At that time you can also start giving water but it is always preferable to avoid using salt sugar and honey till 1 year. Continue breastfeeding the baby but you should make sure that you are either giving breastfeed or formula Milk but not animal milk before 1 year. You can give rice porridge Ragi porridge mashed soft fruits like Banana Chiku Apple Puree and other seasonal fruits like mangoes, watermelons etc.

A. Thanks very much for your response. She is taking rice,daal water interestingly but have a dislike for solids (mashed khichadi). We are not giving salts and sugar to her yet. And yes we are also not giving formula milk as her mother has more milk which can fulfill my daughter's hunger.
