As baby is just 6 months old try giving 2 or 3 times of complementary feed during day time and can continue breast feeding as previously, initially it's better to start with stewed apple or boiled carrot puree.. Any new food u give please don't introduce any other new food for the next 3 days so as to know the source if at all baby develops any allergy. Carrot, beetroot, banana, avocado
, apple, sweet potato, pear u can try intially one after the other and then can try in combinations. Multigain u can start after 7 -8 months
