A. you can make the child sit with support after completion of 5 months of age. the thing is that the back of the child should be well supported along with the head as well as the bottom of the child. after making the child sit if you see that the child is uncomfortable then kindly avoid sitting of the child again for at least one to two weeks 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 half 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 around 700 to 800 ml per day. homemade food is better comparedd to outside packet foods and processed foods

A. Your child can begin eating solid foods at about 6 months old. By the time he or she is 7 or 8 months old, your child can eat a variety of foods from different food groups. These foods include infant cereals, meat or other proteins, fruits, vegetables, grains, yogurts and cheeses, and more.
