A. give very very small bites of hand mashed food. if you give puree your child will not get into the habit of eating normal food. also feed under supervision. you can start with khichdi, daliya, oats, upma

Hi parents please don't get panic you can wait till completing one and half years please give easily digestible food like curd rice and khichdi vegetable soup and upma daliya mash etc you can give small quantity of soji halva sira rab laddu pancakes sabudana porridge etc please give daily massage with Babyhug coconut oil
