Hi doctor, can you suggest what should be the first food that I can give to my baby and from which month I should start ? what would be the qty to feed in the initial days?

A. It is recommended to introduce semi solid foods in baby's diet between the age of 5-6 months. Initially, start slow with 4-6 spoons per serving and twice a day. Then after 7th months onwards increase the servings to 3 times. Feed foods like lentil puree, mixed vegetable soup, apple and pear puree, mashed banana, khichdi, ragi and sooji porridge, etc.
