A. dear mum, this is fine. baby will take some time to learn and get used to exploring the finger foods and then having it. Do not worry. avoid foods that can choke like grapes, nuts and raw carrot pieces. give pieces of soft fruits like banana, chickoo, foods like idli, dhokla (fermented foods are healthy) , besan chila, upma, stuffed paratha pieces, peanut butter bread.

A. good evening there is nothing to worry about I would recommend you to try to be patient and wait for sometime automatically you will notice that the child will start eating everything on his own
