Hi lybrate-user,
thank you for your query.
After 6 months, complimentary feeds to be started in addition to breast milk.
To start, give one semisolid feed in a day and gradually increase to 2 feeds in a day over 10 to 14 days.
So during 6-8 months, 2-3 feeds in a day and during 9-12 months, 3-4 feeds of complimentary feeds can be given.
Give mashed feeds.
Hope I have answered your concerns.

Hi Lybrate User, do not jump to solid foods directly first initiate liquid and semi solid blended foods. Start with rice water, moong dal water, mashed banana with milk, boiled potatoes. Also do not feed in large quantity. 1-2 spoons gradually increasing the quantity.

I presume your baby is on partial breast feed and almost 6-7 months old. This is age when most of mothers feel that child is demanding feeds earlier than before or may not gain weight as before. Then you. Should increase the interval between two feeds and start with very thin soup/porridges, to be given two three times a day at least 2-3after breast feed. Food cooked at home and made from your diet. Just add milk/curd in each feed.

Babies need complementary solid foods along with breastmilk after the age of six months. You can start by including curd, fruits like banana, mashed papaya, veggies like mashed potatoes. The food that you give to your baby should preferably be home cooked and should have a thick, soft consistency.
