A. Purée to begin with and slowly then you can go ahead with food which can we grind it into a mixer see when you go ahead with fruits and vegetables and pure are the best form to give it not very thin but decent and the second one is that when you have to go ahead with giving Khichdi or policy and try to keep it into a little more semisolid consistency after completing the age of six months you can start with rice and Dal water followed by fruits and vegetables and all kind of dairy products can also be given
