Dear parents,
After completing five month you can start semi solid diet like Dal, dalia, khichdi, rice, alu, kela, apple, upaama, halwa, patoliya, raab, kadi idle, poha etc.
For first 15days stop milk for 4hours & give above food.
For next 15days stop milk for 8hours in day time & give semi solid diet.
&after one month give semi solid diet from 8am to 8pm & mother's milk 8pm to 8am.
No milk in day time as,
100ml milk gives 70 calories of energy.
100gm of food gives 350 calories of energy.
100ml juices gives 55 calories of energy.
Next Steps
Start with small quantity & as he takes increase the quantity.
