Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. 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 compared to outside packet foods and processed foods
give food in upright position

AbhayaMom of a 15 yr 9 m old boy1 Year agoA. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. Please give semi solid food items like banana and mashed potatoes and mashed apples to the baby. You can give homemade cerelac and vegetables puree to the baby. Also give suji kheer and daal paani to the baby. Start giving formula milk to the baby. You can also give mashed idli to the baby. Pacifier is not necessary if baby is ok.
Thanks and take care
