My baby is 5 months & 8 days old , should I start feeding him with other items other than mother milk & cow milk ,or should I wait till he attain the age of 6 months. please suggest.

A. Hi, Once your baby is 6 months old you may start giving semi-solids to the baby like fruit Puree, vegetable Puree, vegetable and dal soups, cerelac, rice porridge etc.Start with a few spoons and gradually increase the amount everyday. Intially replace one feed with solids, then slowly after some days replace other feeds with solids. After 1-2 month baby can have 3 meals a day. Give a few spoon of water after every meal. Stay home Stay safe.
