My daughter is 6 months 22 days old.
I had started her solids.
I give her moong dal in morning
Cerelac in afternoon and
Moong daal + dalia at night
Sometimes i give her boiled potatoes in evening.
I give all these things in a paste form.
So am i giving her right things or not?
And is it ok to give her in paste form?
Someone told me that i am giving her very thicky food. I should give her in liquid that she can drink it through bottle.
Please suggest me the right thing.

You should introduce semisolid food after 6 mths of age. That means you are right. Introduce home made food items and allow the child to choose from the variety. Don't force feed.

You can give semisolid foods but don't start different types of food at the same time. Start new foods at regular intervals (10 days)
