A. OUTSIDE FOOD is started after 6 months of ahe of the child. 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 DIET : - it is very important to give all types of food made from cereals (RICE WHEAT and other) pulses (DAL) vegetable milk and fruits to the child and this will only help in increasing the growth weight height immunity of the child. YOU CAN GO FOR ANY RECIPES AND FLAVOURS AND TASTE ACCORDING TO THE THE PREFERENCE OF THE CHILD. Start with small quaantity and gradually increase the quantity. you can go for differentt colour plates as well as different size plates to make eating more attractive. Also it is very important to rule out nutritional deficiency in your child because that is one of the most common cause of loss of appetite in the child.

A. It Has to be six months complete I hope that is very clear you know because certain times for people get confused with six months beginning also it has to be six months complete and after that you should introduce move Dal water to the child and rice water to the child or you can add a pinch of salt to it other than that the second best option that you can go is to start with all kind of vegetable purée is that you wish to and fruits semolina items are good enough to be introduced to the child whatever you want to make out of it should be in semisolid consistency only and water is the most importantly
