A. Dear ma’am, you can give semi solids like ragi or rice and moong dal porridge, puréed banana, boiled and mashed carrot or sweet potato. One new food at a time. Give around two or three tablespoons to start with and based on the tolerance gradually increase the quantity. Avoid salt, sugar and cow milk till one year.
