Always start in small quantities and introduce one food at a time. Try one food for a week and then when the infant accepts and develops a taste for it introduce another. Do not feed more than one new food at a time.
Next Steps
Try khichdi, veg soups, mashed fruits, Dal soups etc. Do not use sugar and salt . Try in its natural form.
