A. Dear mum, no, you should not give purée or any top food until 6 months. It increases the risk of infection and even reduces the milk supply. Breast milk is most nutritious and complete food for baby till 6 months. It helps in healthy weight gain. At one episode of breast feeding feed from only one breast so that baby receives fat rich hindmilk which will help in weight gain.
