A. Hello mom as she is five months old now you can introduce him to Liquids for now and from the age of 6 months you can opt for semi solids and mashed foods .. you can give steamed and mashed vegetables or soups or fresh fruit juice or in purée form, kichidi , porridge made with suji , ragi , multigrain mix, curds , ghee etc
