ExpertDr.Rasika ThosarPaediatric Intensivist4 years agoA. exclusive breastfeeding is recommended till 6 months.
but if its not possible due to any reason you can start with moong dal pani, ricE water.
start with a spoon for a day. slowly increase quantity.
banana preferably later. when baby is used to the idea of feeding from spoon.
this is just tummy training.
it will not replace breastfeeding.
it bridges the gap when baby turns 6 months, you can increase the quantity.
make sure baby is head up while feeding, do not hasten or forcefeed, keep patience.

Ankita MehtaMom of a 9 yr 11 m old girl4 years agoA. hi
no
please don't give anything to eat or drink other than breastmilk and needed medicines till 6 months age.
after completion of 6 months age you can start to offer semisolid food to your child
but till that please stick to breastfeeding
