You can start with rice cereal or apple purée or cooked mashed vegetables like carrot Introduce one new food every week If baby has loose stools with any new food or allergic rashes you have to stop.

Hi, Start with vegetables and fruits purée. You can give rice/ ragi/ sooji porridge. Give warm water to drink. Initially start with once/ day and then gradually increase to 4-5 times/day. Looks out for rashes/ stomach pain when you start the food. Give colicaid drops if crying excessively.
