include rice water, dal water, porridge, homemade cerelac, smashed potato / chikko / banana, fruits puree, vegetables puree, clear veg soup, etc.
whenever you feed any food for the first time, check if baby shows any sign if allergy, intolerance or discomfort
slowly and gradually increase consistency and quantity of food as per baby's appetite.
feed on regular intervals after 2 hours
follow good hygiene
avoid force feeding and overfeeding.
