Start after 6 completed month, till then only breastfeeding. You can give homemade food, which are semisolid in consistency not too liquid not too solid. Like khichdi, fruits and vegetable puree, suji kheer or halwa, boiled mashed potato etc

At first, give these homemade food products in semisolid paste like form. Later, other food products can be added in different meals.
Next Steps
Continue breastfeeding if giving already.
