please guide me when & what should i start solid food to baby. My baby is 5 months now... he is not taking milk properly

A. dear mum, solid foods should be started only after completion of 6 months. until then you should exclusively breastfeed. you can begin with foods like porridges (like rice, Ragi, wheat flour , moong dal and rice flour mix) , kheer then dal-rice with vegetables, veg khichadi, soft mashed fruits, curd.
