ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist4 years agoA. Dear mum, neither food nor water should be introduced to your baby aged 5 months and 8 days. You should exclusively breastfeed till 6 months. Breast milk is most nutritious and complete food for baby till 6 months.

POOJA GOSWAMIMom of a 10 yr 6 m old girl4 years agoA. Yes, you can start giving semi solid foods to your baby which is recommended between 5-6 months. Start slow with 4-6 spoons per serving and twice a day. You can feed foods like lentil puree, mashed banana, apple, carrots and pear puree, mixed vegetable soup, khichdi, ragi and sooji porridge, etc.
There is no need to give water, but if you feel, you can give almost 100-120 ml water per day.
