A. outside food / weaning / complementary is started after 6 months of ahe of the child. at the end of 6 months you have to start gradually all types of food to which the child is not allergic and does not have digestion problem as well as the child is able to swallow the food. cereals pulses vegetable gradually from few spoons per day(cereals pulses vegetable) you have to shift to half katori (100ml) three times per day till 9 months of age. fruits from six months to nine months you have to give few 2 pieces of fruit and then shift to half a katori 2 times per day. if breastfeeding is going on you can continue at regular interval. and if you are giving outsside milk then it should be around 700 to 800 ml per day. homemade food is better compared to outside packet foods and processed foods s there are multiple vaccines available in the market. government setup gives many vaccines. there are many vaccines which is not available at the government setup and you should get them at private setup (discuss with yourdr) eg. typhoid, hepatitis a, chickenpox, flu vaccine, japanese encephalitis vaccine, meningococcal vaccine, mmr vaccine, cholera vaccine. many times vaccines are region specific and according to the disease those vaccines has to be taken after consulting your doctor. kindly meet your doctor who swill tell you which vaccinations you can take for your child which is not available at the government setup . also there are painless vaccine option available at private setup.
