You can start pureed vegetables and fruits like carrots, apple, broccoli, pears and also rice and dhal mixed with vegetables in a mixer. Start with a purée once a day for 3 days, then twice daily for another 3 days and then thrice daily. Breast milk should still be the main diet of the baby till the first birthday. Do not start cow's milk till then. The food should have no large pieces which the baby can choke on.
