Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy2 years agoA. home food is better
outside food / weaning / complementary is started after 6 months of ahe of the child.
at the end of 6 months you have to start gradually all types of food to which the child is not allergic and does not have digestion problem as well as the child is able to swallow the food.
cereals pulses vegetable
gradually from few spoons per day(cereals pulses vegetable) you have to shift to half katori (100ml) three times per day till 9 months of age.
fruits
from six months to nine months you have to give few 2 pieces of fruit and then shift to half a katori 2 times per day.
if breastfeeding is going on you can continue at regular interval. and if you are giving outside milk then it should be around 700 to 800 ml per day.
homemade food is better compared to outside packet foods and processed foods

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl2 years agoA. It’s actually of no use as such and also it does not not have any such nutritional value that I can tell you what it is good to be given to the child when you are going out or you want to give something instantly to the child that which is fine but always focus more on the fresh food
