No. Packed food and milk are not good for infant, it slowly slowly damages baby's immune system.
We have diet plan for infant from 6month to 2yrs.
Which include

. How to intruduce food every month. Like grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, pulses, etc so that they give achieve their ideal requirements of all nutrients.

. To help them to build immune system strong and also cure digestive problem.
. How to introduce cow's milk at 1year.
And many more....

Hi
Kindly not to give custard from now as she's still 6 months old.. baby... May be later you can give 5he baby once she's/ he's one and half years or two.. by checking whether the baby is food allergic or intolerant to lactose in milk or to eggs..or not..
By checking that if the baby can tolerate to milk and eggs you can certainly give that particular food for consumption at later stages as mentioned the age above limit..
Complementary feeding to be started by about 6 months as milk alone will not suffice the baby's requirement..
Can give liquid foods, then progressed to more thicker gruel's followed by semisolid soft foods that low are like if fibre.. and as the child reaches 1 year , then Eady digested foods, bland adult foods with limited soft fiber to be given..
Cereals , dehusked pulses, milk, veggies, fruits, nuts fats and sugar for providing sufficient energy, protein vitamins and mineral requirements..
Next Steps
complementary foods that are should be energy dense but not to be bulky or heavy.
ARF ( Amylase Rich Flour ) wheat based can be given ..prepared at home...and stored in air tight container and use it as and when required for the baby..
The meal frequency can be 5-6 feeds/ day at 2 and half to 3 hour intervals...
Example: Malted cereals are rich in ARF..
And introducing one good at a time is Recommended.. starting with small amounts of any new food and can gradually increase the quantity.. and salt should be iodized and sugar to be used in moderation..
Health Tips
packet milk can be used at Discretion by checking the brand, fat% levels, whether it's Homogenized and pasteurized milk or not.. and using the same brand is advised ...
if it's cow milk or buffalo milk check for the food allergies and Intolerance part of it.. and accordingly introduce slowly..
For further details contact over online consultation, over or mail.. for a detailed customized meal planning..
Thankyou

Hi, Custard is processed and tetra pack milk too is processed so better to avoid. Use fresh cow's milk after boiling. Fruit puree (Unstrained), Rice porridge,Ragi porridge,,Rice dal vegetable (Dudhi,Pumkin) khichadi can be given.
