ExpertDr.Trishita IssarNutritionist7 years agoA. Try to give Very light liquids if your doc has advised .. but start solids at 6 months.. garlic can be added at a later age as the digestive system is not ready yet and may irritate the baby now Once in 6 th month. You can start with peeled and boiled apple puree Mashed banana [ripe] Coconut water Mashed soft papaya Buttermilk Finger foods like soft bread cubes cheese paneer You can give soft mashed khichidi made of dal rice and vegetable and ghee. Also avoid using packed foods like cerelac .. make homemade gruels and porridges atleast you will know what you are giving your baby. Once near the 1 year mark you can start giving what you have at home just modify the cooking process i.e remove some amount of cooked dal or veggies before you add chilly and spices. Also start salt and honey only after 1 year. Continue milk intake and give new food in between feeds do not skip a feed initially as the baby will consume only small quantities. A 3 day rule means starting a new food and giving it for 3 days preferably at the same time. To check for any food allergies and to increase acceptability.

Shaista TarannumMom of a 17 yr old boy7 years agoA. usually solid or semi solid food is suggested only after completion of six months. but if you think your baby will be fine to take it under doctor's recommendation then its totally upto you. however do not add garlic as of now.

Nihita mittalMom of a 8 yr 4 m old boy7 years agoA. I would recommend you to take a second opinion from another paediatrician as only Place or formula milk should be given to the baby complete six months
