Better to give pureed fruit instead of juices. Juice are common to cause dental caries, overweight etc No bottle feeding Can start with curd rice, khichdi, dal rice, Raab etc. Either of the one on daily basis at fixed time. Water can be started 2 to 3 spoons and increased gradually. At end of 1 year should take 150 to 250ml of water in a day.
