A. Hi Mom, it is best to give exclusive breastfeeding to baby for complete 6 months. hence you can start weaning foods after 6 months. you can slowly start with rice water, dal water, porridge, homemade cerelac, fruit puree, vegetable puree, smashed banana, boiled and smashed banana, etc along with breastfeeding. feed on regular intervals after 2 hours. maintain good hygiene avoid force feeding and overfeeding.
