My baby boy is 7 months and has just started solids. I am confused on whether I should be giving him alternate grains like Ragi / Amaranth, or stick to Rice, Dal & Suji.

A. Dear parent, apart from rice and dal, you can give ragi as well. You can give ragi as a porridge. Avoid giving suji now as it is too coarse. Suji can be given after 8 months.
