A. hey, sucking hand is a way for self pacification . . After 6 month complete you can start weaning your child with simple foods that are prepared at home or cerelac, nestum kind of Pre- prepared baby foods. At that time you can also start giving water but it is always preferable to avoid using salt sugar and honey till 1 year. Continue breastfeeding the baby but you should make sure that you are either giving breastfeed or formula Milk but not animal milk before 1 year. You can give rice porridge Ragi porridge mashed soft fruits like Banana Chiku Apple Puree and other seasonal fruits like mangoes, watermelons etc.

A. Teething Is happening with your child which is why your child behaviour is like this but I don’t understand why are you giving food to the child before the correct age when it is not recommended to give anything to the child at this age you should only go ahead with giving breastfeeding to the child currently no extra food is recommended to be given before completing the age of six
