A. good to start with rice kanji or dal water.. Start by offering small amounts of solids once a day.. preffer day time to feed. Follow three day rule. Breastfeeding or formula feeding should continue alongside the solid foods, as they still form an essential part of the infant diet till 1 year. Give vegetables (eg pumpkin, potato, sweet potato, carrot puree) fruits (eg cooked pears/apple, ripe banana) . Moong Daal water, rice kangi. Ragi porridge, rice porridge.

A. Yes All the things you can start with as of now see serial that you are talking about is packaged food so you can give it any time and if you want to go ahead with home-cooked food or something then yes Dal rice water is the best want to go for followed by fruit and vegetable purée on regular basis
