Shabnam SheikhMom of 2 children4 years agoA. hi...babies should be exclusively breastfed for the first six months after six months u can start solid food.
start by giving single ingredient food without salt or sugar. You can also give pureed single grain cereal, sweet potatoes, peaches or bananas.
Start with semi solids include rice water , moong dal water . after few days give moong dal khichdi make sure you mash it well. Always nurse or formula feed your baby before you offer her solids. Milk continues to be the primary source of nutrition, and the baby might not eat more than a few bites. Feed the baby the same kind of food for three days before you start on another new food. This allows you to identify allergies that the baby might have, if any. You will need to puree the foods for the first couple of months. Offer your baby sips of water while you feed her.
Introduce only one food at a time and give it for 3 days. Start with 1 tablespoon food once a day at 6 months. A 6-month-old baby feeding schedule can be two meals of 2-4 tablespoons.
