A. Exclusive breastfeeding is advisable till the time the baby completes 6 months of age. Mother's milk is sufficient to take care of water and other nutritional requirements of baby's body. Once the baby completes 6 months, you can start giving one solid meal or one semi solid meal and water or other fluids initially and then increase gradually. Start with any one fruit puree or stewed apple or stewed pear or any one vegetable puree or clear vegetable soup or mashed carrot or rice porridge or rice Ka Pani or Dal Ka Pani. 2-3 weeks after starting solids, you can give rice porridge with mashed carrots, moong Dal khichdi, ragi porridge, apple puree, curd, mashed banana, spinach pumpkin puree, etc.
