Start weaning (introduction of food )the baby. Few points should be taken care of when introducing the food. Start with a food item at a time. Started with orange juice. On first day give him only a teaspoon of orange juice in the midmorning. Next day increase the amount to two teaspoon. By the end of the week he will enjoy half a cup of orange juice. The next week start with apple juice and so on. When he will be a year old he will know the taste of most of the food. Start with orange juice followed by soft rice, mashed cereals, soft fruits, soft cooked potatoes and other vegetables, puddings. When the baby is about a year old, start with hard boiled egg yolk then egg white, fish, chicken or poultry, meat.
