A. Hello mom you can now introduce the baby to liquids initially such as dal or rice water or vegetable soup or fresh fruit juices and alternate it with your feed . Start with one thing at a time and in just few tsp as the baby gets used to it you can gradually increase the quantity and variety and number of meals . And then gradually move to semi solids from 6 months
