A. dear mum, top food should be introduced only after completion of 6 months. even after 6 months, prefer to give homemade food rather than giving any sort of commercially available packaged foods.

A. You can start solids if the following three conditions are satisfied 1. Baby is having head control 2. Baby is able to sit without support for atleast 20-30 seconds 3. Baby is interested in food If they are able to do it and not 6 months - please discuss with your paediatrician and start solids. You can start with fruits like apple, banana, mango (seasonal fruits, not having preservatives) in mashed form. Or vegetables like beans, carrot, brocolli, potatoes in mashed form. Or cucumber (remove seeds) as finger food. Or lentil water, overnight soaked ragi porridge, rice porridge, etc. U can add little ghee after a week of starting solids (max half spoon per day when u start with ghee) Don't use sugar or salt or chilli. Don't give cow milk. Avoid giving market foods like cerelac. You can give any fruits or vegetable or homemade porridges rich in iron, vitamin c and zinc.

A. Hello dear parent, it is advisable to give any kind of top food except the breast milk once the baby completes 6months of his life. Your child's 6 month is running. So, wait for few more days and then you can start his/ her solid food journey. As far as your concern as to what to give out of home made or readily available, it is best if you can put some extra effort and provide the homemade items to your kid, be it cerelac Or something else.
