Question

Accepted Answer

dear parent, fruits and food should be introduced only after completion of 6 months. until then you should exclusively breastfeed.

you can begin with  porridges (like rice, Ragi, wheat flour , moong dal and rice flour mix) , kheer
then dal-rice with vegetables, veg khichadi,  soft mashed fruits, curds, 
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.

you can give fruits like banana, mango, watermelon.
