A. it is just curiosityexclusive 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.

A. hey mommy itsa good sign that your little one is curious about what you are doing. I think your little one will take to solid food quickly. however however tempting it may seem please stick to the 6 month only bm rule. it will be beneficial in the long run.

A. Hi, she is just curious... Infact babies are curious about everything. It is mandatory to exclusively breast feed for 6 months. Just wait for 2 more months please....

A. Hello mum this is normal behaviour of the kids because at this stage they can you noticed everything what is going on around them you’re not allowed to give any food to your baby till he turns of five and half for six month of the age after that you can start with the semi-liquid diet only

A. helloparent good noon n good day no no us your baby should have completed six months for any other foods like water or juice or even any other food. This is because only milk provides all the necessary nutrients. And early solid foods will lead to stomach upset and constipation.
