Health Tips
As you are just introducing new foods along with breast milk or formula milk. So start with a very small quantity. Initially, it’s a complimentary food so feed your baby enough amount of breastmilk or formula milk.

My advice is strictly give home made. There is no need to give any medicine if he is comfortable. You can start giving him rice kangi, dal water, suji halwa, fruit pulp or juice, vegetable soup, mashed potatoe and of course water too. Try one food item at a time, give it for a week, then introduce another item. Increase the consistency of food gradually as the child starts sitting, give semisolids gradually. Your duty is to make the child taste the food. Let the baby make his own choices and you will find that the child will enjoy having food.

Please do not give gripe water. If the right solid food is introduced with water stools will be regularised..
