Hi, I'm exclusively feeding mother of 4 month baby. Can I start solid food by 5th month itself. Does it affect the baby? I used formula milk for only one time for my baby. He totally vomit it and looks tired for nearly 6 hours. So I'm little panic to start the solid food in the 5th month. kindly give me the suggestion.

A. dear mum, solid foods should not be started in the 5th month. it should be introduced only after completion of 6 months. until then you should exclusively breastfeed. baby's digestive system is not mature till 6 months.
