POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. At 5 months and 21 days, breast milk or formula should still be the main source of nutrition, but you can slowly begin introducing small tastes of solid food if your baby shows readiness—like sitting with support, good head control, and interest in food. Start with 1–2 teaspoons of single-ingredient purees like rice water, moong dal water, or mashed banana once a day. Gradually move to soft purees like carrot, apple, or suji kheer after a few days, offering the same food for 3–5 days to check for allergies. Keep the texture smooth and the quantity small, slowly increasing as your baby adjusts, but always continue regular breast or formula feeds alongside solids.
