A. yes can start as food for the baby you can give all kind of seasonal fruits and vegetables. you can give Apple everyday .can also give mango , pomegranate,papaya and banana according to the season and requirement . avoid giving banana excessively and daily otherwise it may cause constipation. you can also give rice preparations oatmeals curd preparationsband daliya. it will be better if you are able to give dairy products daily apart from milk. refrigerated and packed foods should be avoided, junk foods should also be avoided. if you will give excessive of milk to the child the hunger may get satisfied by that and the child may not be interested in having other variety of food. over all you need to see that you are giving a balanced diet to your child with proper fulfillment of nutritional and energy requirements according to the age.b

A. Hello dear parent! When your baby is able to chew and gulp well, you can start giving small quantities of dry fruits. Ideally after one year completion. For now, you can make a homemade healthy dry fruits mix that can be added to your child’s foods. Give your baby a well balanced healthy diet and keep hydrated. Continue breastfeeding.
