A. it is very common that during the initial one or two years the child might take liquid or semi solid diet. but you can always gradually shift to semi solid to solid diet with increasing consistency and you have to progress by 20% to 30% every few xweeks. it is a learning process of swallowing as well as she is going by the child so do not worry and continue your efforts. the child wxill learn the chewing process gradually because the child is always copying people around them

A. From the 7th month onward you can start feeding thrice a day as proper breakfast, lunch and early dinner. Breast milk is still baby’s prime source of nourishment, so continue to breastfeed on demand. The quantity of each feed in this month will be roughly the size of your baby’s fist approximately 90 to 100 ml. The consistency can be thicker than that of the previous month so that the food stays in the spoon without falling off. Try different foods
