A. you should give apple puree to the baby. For 6 months old baby you should start with 1 meal in a day along with breast feeding. Prefer to give food in the morning so that if the child has some allergy or discomfort due to food then you will get to know. The food should be properly mashed and the puree should be very thin so the baby can easily swallow it. Rest there is no fix guide line. keep on trying after some gaps if the baby spits out. Even if the baby eats 1-2 spoons then also it's ok rest it depends on baby to baby. Always start with fruit purees. You can give mashed bananas apple puree pear puree avocados prunes puree apricots puree .avoid combined fruits. Carrot puree mashed potato sweet potato pumpkin puree peas puree can be given. You can also give moongdaal water mashed oats mashed ragi or rice water. You can even introduce clear soup or tomato soup in winters. Keep the baby well hydrated with breast milk and give atleast 3-4 ounces of water through out the day.
