Hello doctor My son is 6months 1wk old now. I started giving semi solids to him. I’m concerned about the quantity to be fed. Shall I feed him as much as he can or is there any limit?

A. Dear mum, you should give semi solid foods to your baby 2 to 3 times a day and up to half katori every time. Breastfeed baby in between and on demand. Give one food for 3-6 days for baby to accept and adapt and then introduce another new food.
