A. hii. my son will be 5 months in a couple of days, lately he also chew whatever he gets( toys, finger, etc) seems he is also teething.I dont give him anythong apart from breast milk for now. just keep his toys clean, and try to divert him from putting things in mouth.

A. Generally Any liquids or semisolids or Solids are advisable only after six months. Until then exclusive breastfeeding or formula alone is good for baby (not even water) as their digestive system will be still sensitive and immature. WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding until six months. After that, Fruit purees like apples, pear, avacado, papaya, mashed banana, vegetable puree like carrots, pumpkin, peas, mashed sweet potato or potatoes, pulses, porridge like ragi or oats, veg rice, dal rice, veg kichdi, RASAM rice, steamed idli, home made cereals. Start with easily digestible foods first during day time and then move on to the heavy ones following the two day gap rule between introducing new foods. Phillips Avent Food Maker will be of great help for preparing baby food. You may give it a try once u start semi solids. #ParentYourWay
