A. If the baby is not comfortable with solid consistency then try mashed and liquified food or resort to Ragi malt or home made cerelac which can be made in a liquid form. Babies need time to adjust. You can also give fruit juices without sugar

A. See Consistency has to be a little liquidy not take otherwise your child cannot swallow it easily so just work on the consistency and if your child is not even having made maybe your child is having its teeth so just concentrate on that fact if you can understand otherwise get a check with a doctor
