ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist4 years agoA. dear mum, you can introduce solids after completion of 6 months. during the initial days, you can begin with Soft, mashed and hygienically prepared foods like you can begin with porridges (like rice, Ragi, wheat flour , moong dal and rice flour mix) , kheer
then dal-rice with vegetables, veg khichadi, soft mashed fruits, curds,
later mashed paneer cheese, Vegetable Daliya
consistency of food should be like that of ghee
avoid water thin foods like thin dals and rice water, soups. Squeeze lemon in baby's food for iron absorption.
