ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist3 years agoA. dear mum, after completion of 6 months, 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.
later mashed paneer, cheese, Vegetable Daliya.
consistency of food should be like that of ghee.
avoid water thin foods like thin dals and rice water, soups. Squeeze lemon in baby's food for iron absorption.
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
Initially give after a breastfeed, or between two feeds; later give as breakfast, lunch ,dinner
continue to breastfeed

Aditi SinhaMom of a 9 yr 9 m old boy3 years agoA. Hi, you can start solids when the baby turns 6 months old. you can give rice water, daal water, ragi porridge, sooji kheer, fruit juices, vegetables soup etc. ensure you include all seasonal fruits and vegetables. also try 3 days trial to see if the foods suits the baby and he doesn't have any allergies. thanks
