Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. 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 outside milk thenf it should be around 700 to 800d ml per day.
homemade food is better compared to outside packet foods and processed foods
RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. There is no fixed number of food that is suitable for all the kids you have to check it as per the appetite of the child even if we talk minimally then even if it is taking 15 to 20 teaspoons of food and that would be decent enough more or less depending upon the appetite of the child
