#asktheexperts Hi Dr. my baby is 6 months old boy and recently I started solids. Usually he poops every 4-5th day but now he it’s been 8 days he hasn’t pooped. He is taking formula as well as breastfeed.

A. Weaning food can be started from 5-6 months of age and in that initially in the initial stage you can introduce some semi solid food to the baby like Banana mango plum boiled Apple and then gradually you can start with some purie of carrot potato and some other foods which can be given are porridge of suji sabudana which can be prepared in breast milk or formula milk. initially yofu can start with one or two tsp which can be r gradually increased up till at least three meals in a day
