Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy2 years agoA. outside food / weaning / complementary is started after 6 months of ahe of the child.
at the end of 6 months you have to start gradually all types of food to which the child is not allergic and does not have digestion problem as well as the child is able to swallow the food.
cereals pulses vegetable
gradually from few spoons per day(cereals pulses vegetable) you have to shift to half katori (100ml) three times per day till 9 months of age.
fruits
from six months to nine months you have to give few 2 pieces of fruit and then shift to haldf a katori 2 times per day.
if breastfeeding is going on you can continue at regular interval. and if you are giving outside milk then it should be aroundd 700 to 800 ml per day.
homemade food is better compared to outside packet foods and processed foods

As soon as your child completes the age of six months that is going to be the right time for you to introduce all kind of healthy semisolid food to the child that prior to that it is only going to be either breastfeeding or formula feeding for the child
