Q.

My 4 month old baby is exclusively breastfed. But currently he is taking feed every hour as if he is always hungry. Should we start solid food into his diet as he opens his mouth when we offer him something.

A. Weaning food can be started from 5-6 months of age and in that initially in the initial stage you can introduce some semi solid food to the baby like Banana mango plum boiled Apple and then gradually you can start with some purie of carrot potato and some other foods which can be given are porridge of suji sabudana which can be prepared in breast milk or formula milk. initially you can start with one or two tsp which can be graduallfy increasedg up till at least three meals in a day
