A. Hello mom it’s absolutely fine if the baby accepts cups or sipper cups as well .. you can now introduce the baby to weaning foods initially it’s good to start with liquids such as dal or rice water or vegetable soups or fresh fruit juices. As the baby accepts them well from 6 month onwards you can start with semi solids and mashed foods
