My baby is 5 months and 12 days old now. From last 15 days his demand for breastfeed milk has been increased and he asks for milk in every hour. I think his hunger is increased and he feels hungry in every hour. After feeding him , he feels fresh and starts playing. Is this the good time to start with semi- solid food for the baby along with breastfeed milk to keep him tummy full ?

A. good afternoon yes absolutely if you want you can start giving semi solid food to your child I will recommend you to introduce only liquid diet and soft foods initially to ensure the child is able to digest it
