A. Every baby is different and so as their development milestones. A 6 months old baby should be fed twice a day with foods like lentil puree, mashed banana and potato, apple, carrot and pear puree, mixed vegetable soup, khichdi, ragi and sooji porridge, home made cerelac, etc. Avoid ready to eat Cerelac because of of high sugar content in it. Increase the quantity of milk to 800 to 900 ml per day.
