A. outside food / weaning / complementary is started after 6 months of ahe of the child. at the end of 6 months you have to start gradually all types of food to which the child is not allergic and does not have digestion problem as well as the child is able to swallow the food. cereals pulses vegetable gradually from few spoons per day(cereals pulses vegetable) you have to shift to half katori (100ml) three times per day till 9 months of age. fruits from six months to nine months you have to give few 2 pieces of fruit and then shift to half a katori 2 times per day.d if breastfeeding is going on you can continue at regular interval. and if you are giving outside milk then it should be around 700 to 800 ml per day. homemade food is better compared to outside packet foods and dprocessed foods

A. At six months old, babies in India, like elsewhere, can start exploring solid foods alongside breast milk or formula. Here are some common and nutritious options suitable for a six-month-old baby in India: 1. **Rice Cereal**: Start with single-grain rice cereal mixed with breast milk or formula. It's easy to digest and a good introductory solid food. 2. **Homemade Purees**: Introduce pureed fruits and vegetables such as mashed banana, cooked apple, pear, sweet potato, carrot, pumpkin, or potato. These can be steamed or boiled and then mashed or blended to a smooth consistency. 3. **Lentil or Dal Puree**: Cooked and mashed lentils (dal) are rich in protein and iron. Start with well-cooked and pureed lentils like moong dal or masoor dal. 4. **Ragi (Finger Millet) Porridge**: Ragi is highly nutritious and can be ground into a fine powder to make porridge. Cook ragi powder with water or milk until thickened. 5. **Khichdi**: A traditional Indian dish made with rice and lentils, khichdi is nutritious and easy to digest. Start with a simple khichdi prepared with rice, moong dal, and mild spices. 6. **Mashed Chapati or Roti**: Soften a small piece of chapati or roti by soaking it in breast milk or formula and then mash it into a paste. It's a good introduction to wheat-based foods. 7. **Homemade Yogurt**: Plain, unsweetened yogurt is a good source of calcium and probiotics. You can introduce small amounts of yogurt to your baby's diet. Remember to introduce one new food at a time and wait for a few days before introducing another to check for any allergic reactions. Always ensure that foods are prepared and served in a baby-friendly manner, avoiding added salt, sugar, honey, and choking hazards. Additionally, continue breastfeeding or formula feeding alongside solid foods, as they still provide essential nutrients and hydration for your baby. Consulting with a pediatrician or a qualified nutritionist can provide personalized guidance and recommendations based on your baby's specific needs and dietary preferences.
