Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy4 years agoA. there is no need to remove the fingers because it is very common at this stage and you have to just maintain hygiene of the fingers and you can start complementary feeding after 6 months of age
In COMPLEMENTARY FEEDING start with two rules
Rule number 1 is that you have to give the food in the form which the child can swallow
Rule number 2 is that always give a new food for for 5 to 6 days to see whether the child is able to digest that food or not as well as it will help in creating the taste in the child.
you can gradually start all types of food made from cereals pulses vegetable milk and fruits. You have to start initially with less amount and gradually you can increase the amount
