then dal-rice with vegetables, veg khichadi, soft mashed fruits, curd.
later mashed paneer cheese, Vegetable Daliya

avoid water thin foods like thin dals and rice water, soups. Squeeze lemon in baby's food for iron absorption.
start with 3-4 tsp and then about half katori per meal about 2 to 3 meals per day.
give 1 food for about 3-6 days for baby to accept and to see how baby tolerates it then introduce another new food.
you can give few sips of water in between and after meals. breast milk should be the primary source of milk for baby.
