A. I have started on 6 months. Initially, it can be difficult to know exactly how much solid food for a 6-month-old. You don’t really need a lot of solid food for your baby at this age. About 90 ml per feed twice a day should be enough to begin with. You can start with puree. But please begin with 1 tablespoon of apple puree, mixed with breast milk or formula, once a day. Gradually increase the amount to 2 tablespoons, twice a day, by day 2, and then to 3 tablespoons, twice a day, by day 3.And also note that if you are introducing any new food for the first time to your baby,then feed only 1-3 tsp of it in the morning.Doing this helps you to better understand whether your child is able to digest the food, ruling out the allergic reactions, and also you give time to your child's tummy to adjust new food. You can refer to My Little Moppet blog or their instagram page as I had started solids and weaned my baby with their guide.

A. hello it is advisable to exclusively breastfeed the baby till the baby complete 6 months and do not give baby any other food till then and if the breast milk is not sufficient you can alternatively be giving the child infant formula milk stage 1 using a bpa free bottle like babyhug
