My daughter has turned 5 months 25 days old .can I start with semi solid food? What should I start with and also can now sugar and salt be included in her food?

Question

Yes, you can start. Give mashed fruits, suji kheer, boiled pureed vegetables, chawal ka pani, dal ka pani etc. Start slowly, do not try 2-3 things in one day. Start with a very small quantity and slowly increase the portion. Always feed solid food to your baby when he/she is sitting on a chair or in your lap. Don?t feed solids when your baby is lying on his back. Always feed freshly cooked food to your baby. Don?t feed your baby forcefully. His solid intakes will increase gradually.
