Yes you can change to stage 2 and mix contents according to instructions on the pack. You can start with complementary feeds . Rice, dal mashed , banana, apple, pear purées.

Greetings You can transition directly to Stage 2 formula or safely continue Stage 1 up to 12 months as long as iron-rich solids are introduced. For solids, start with smooth, single-ingredient purees like mashed banana, apple, rice cereal, or dal water once or twice a day. At 6 months, mandatory routine vaccines typically include the third dose of DTaP, Hib, Hepatitis B, and Oral Polio, alongside a seasonal influenza vaccine. No new daily medications are needed unless specifically prescribed by your pediatrician, though vitamin D or iron drops are commonly evaluated. Developmentally, your baby will likely achieve milestones such as sitting with minimal support, rolling over in both directions, and bringing objects to their mouth.

You can move your baby to stage 2 formula from 6 months, following the pack instructions for mixing. This is also the right time to start soft, single-ingredient foods like mashed banana, rice, or dal water.
Next Steps
Introduce one new food every 2 to 3 days without salt or sugar, and build up to two small meals daily as he takes to it.
Health Tips
Please check the vaccine schedule and any supplement drops with your paediatrician directly, since those depend on his individual growth and health record.
