A. Dear parent, top food should be started only after completion of 6 months. Idli should be introduced after 8 months. After 6 months, give soft and mashed foods. Consistency of food should be like that of ghee. You can begin with foods like ragi porridge, homemade cerelac, cereal pulse, kheer, khichadi, vegetable purée, dal rice, fruit purée, curd. Later mashed paneer. Add ghee to every meal and squeeze lemon wherever possible.
