Hi The answer is NO... You have to start complimentary feeding from 6 months onwards. Milk is not the only essential nutrients. There are lot of other nutrients which have to be introduced one by one from 6 months onwards. Important rules 1.liquid to semi-solid consistency 2.Start new items only in the morning 3.Gradually increase the feed day by day and make it a bowl by 3 days.
Next Steps
Please start ragi  mixed with jaggery and your milk. rice and dhal with ghee. Apple , banana. vegetables. continue breastfeeding
