A. In COMPLEMENTARY FEEDING start with two rules Rule number 1 is that you have to give the food in the form which the child can swallow Rule number 2 is that always give a new food for for 5 to 6 days to see whether the child is able to digest that food or not as well as it will help in creating the taste in the child. you can gradually start all types of food made from cereals pulses vegetable milk and fruits. You have to start initially with less amount and gradually you can increase the amount..

A. Hello dear parent, you can start with semi solids from 6 months of age as per doctors by then you can start giving moong dal ka Pani 5 to 6 spoons 2 to 3 times in the day , Do this for 2 days and look for any indigestion in the baby increase the quantity if everything remains fine. So give rice water, watery Khichdi, home made Cerelac, apple pure etc the same way you gave moong dal ka Pani. Good luck and take care
