A. Hello mom. After an age that is around six months or so their nutritional requirement increases and Now alone mother‘s milk is not sufficient for their growth and weaning foods have to be introduced to them if done on time the baby gets used to solids well enough the more delay you do the more difficult it does get so hence try to balance your feed and solids you can give them alternatively start by introducing liquids to them first and then moving to semi solid gradually add in some flavours and also more variety to the food as well

A. No you shouldn’t be forced to Lily Siri actually I like to tell you that kids take time to accept new flavour and taste that you are giving to the child so you should not be forcing just give little quantity and let your child develop a test for futureWrite Your Answer Here
