Hello lybrate-user.
If the stool is properly formed then there is no need of any medicine.
It will take some time to adjust to the food.

The drug passes to your baby if you breastfeed but it's not harmful. Since your baby is on solids already try to avoid breastfeeding during those days of taking the tablet. You can also reduce the dose to 3 to 5 days of you looking for using the drug for withdrawal bleeding.

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.

A baby is ready to take solid food supplements after 6 months.
These can be simple soft mashed food, banana etc. It will help in his growth since a variety of nutrients will be available to him.
Cow milk / diluted buffalo milk, can be given. Will help in calcium buildup.

Weaning towards solid foods is individualistic. Semisolids are gradually introduced from 6 month onward or once the baby starts showing swallowing actions. One needs to check how comfortable is baby in swallowing. Food in semisolid form like chapati dipped and soften in dal or soup is recommended, soft small cut fruit is ok. Try foods that baby can eat comfortable. Avoid crispy and hard foods as they having risk of choking the baby.

Fresh, home cooked food with a soft, thick consistency is best for baby. Mashed bananas, papayas, pureed fruits and vegetables, khhichdi, dal, chapati soaked in dal and mashed would be good to give.
