A. For a 5-month, 20-day-old baby, breast milk or formula should still be the primary source of nutrition. However, if your pediatrician has advised starting solids early, you can introduce single-ingredient, easily digestible foods in small amounts. Best Time to Feed At this stage, feeding solids is just for practice, not for nutrition. You can offer solids once a day, preferably: ✔ Mid-morning (10 AM - 12 PM) – Baby is active, and you can monitor any reactions. ✔ Early afternoon (2 PM - 4 PM) – If morning is not convenient. Feeding Schedule Example ⏰ 7 AM - 8 AM → Breast milk/formula ⏰ 10 AM - 12 PM → Small amount of mashed food (if started) ⏰ 2 PM - 4 PM → Breast milk/formula ⏰ 6 PM - 7 PM → Breast milk/formula ⏰ 10 PM - 11 PM → Breast milk/formula (before bedtime) First Foods to Try ✔ Mashed banana ✔ Steamed and pureed apple or pear ✔ Rice cereal (homemade or iron-fortified) ✔ Moong dal water ✔ Boiled and mashed carrot or sweet potato ⚠ Things to Remember Introduce only one new food at a time and wait 3-5 days before trying another. Avoid salt, sugar, honey, and cow’s milk. Continue breastfeeding/formula as the main food.
