Don't give solid food at 5 month, you can wait for 1 month and start food like suji, vegetable soups in almost liquid consistency and gradually increase the variety of foods and thick consistency of foods. Watch for other problems if any.
Next Steps
consult paediatrician online or in clinic for appropriate way of feeding.
