Hi sir, Good morning, Hope you are doing well. Sir I have a 6month 18 days old baby who is on bm and takes fruits puries and mashed dal water. I want to know what else i should give him, how many times a day and at what intervals. Should i add Salt, sugar in his meals. Thanks in advance 🙏🙂

A. initially introduce once in the day gradually as he is able to digest properly you can add one more time After 6 month complete you can start weaning your child with simple foods that are prepared at home or cerelac, nestum kind of Pre- prepared baby foods. At that time you can also start giving water but it is always preferable to avoid using salt sugar and honey till 1 year. Continue breastfeeding the baby but you should make sure that you are either giving breastfeed or formula Milk but not animal milk before 1 year. You can give rice porridge Ragi porridge mashed soft fruits like Banana Chiku Apple Puree and other seasonal fruits like mangoes, watermelons etc.
