A. Weaning food can be started from 5-6 months of age and in that initially in the initial stage you can introduce some semi solid food to the baby like Banana mango plum boiled Apple and then gradually you can start with some purie of carrot potato and some other foods which can be huigiven are porridge of suji sabudana which can be prepared in breast milk or formula milk. initially you cang start with one or two tsp which can be gradually increased up till at least three meals in a day

A. If you have good amount of breastfeeding focus more on that if you want to start with formula feeding will start after completing the age of six months but if you have good amount first preference should be breastfeeding and if you have any particular particular reason to start with formula then you can there is no problem with that
