hello dr. my baby is 5 months and 15 days old.. can i start solid food for him? please share the diet chart for baby. what are the first food I can gave?

A. dear mum, solid foods should be introduced only after completion of 6 months and not earlier than that. so, wait for another 15 days. you can begin with foods like porridges (like rice, Ragi, wheat flour , moong dal and rice flour mix) , kheer then dal-rice with vegetables, veg khichadi, soft mashed fruits, curd. start with 3-4 tsp and then about half katori per meal about 2 to 3 meals per day. give 1 food for about 3-6 days for baby to accept and to see how baby tolerates it then introduce another new food.
