Accepted Answer

Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. It is not advisable to give anything to the baby other than mother’s milk till the age of six months. After six month Please give semi solid food items like banana and mashed potatoes and mashed apples to the baby. Also give suji kheer and daal paani to the baby. Start giving formula milk to the baby. You can also give mashed idli to the baby.
Thanks and take care

Hello Ma'am,

The child should be only on mother's milk for 6 months. Later u can start liquids like Lil water, carrot pure, etc...

Answer

After six months, various food items can be fed in a semisolid state (kurukku). This preparation can be made from powdered rice, cow pea, green gram, black gram, ragi, cashew nut and ‘nendran’ banana - both raw and ripe.Fruits such as banana, apple, papaya, chikoo, apricots, prunes, mango, peaches are necessary for the overall growth and development of your baby. Make sure it is one fruit at a time. Fruits can be given in puree or mashed form as well.

Answer

after 6 months u can start solid foods.
