Best weaning diet single cereals either Ragi or Rice
You can start Ragi initially 2 to 3 spoons once a day daily for first 2 weeks based on tolerance you can increase quantity and times of feed
Then introduce other cereal rice same like ragi step up for 15 days
By 7 th month you can start vegetables and increase the calories by adding ghee and jaggery

Between 6-8 month
Complementary foods (semi solid) should be introduced by 6 months, beginning with pureed foods.
Baby should be offered 2-3 meals per day plus frequent breastfeeds/formula feed.
If required an additional 1-2 snacks may be given including fruits
Amount of food offered should be around 3-4 Tablespoons or half of a 250 ml cup.
Can give anything that suits culturally , important to note is ,it should be given in mashed form and bit in liquid form initially
Salt load should less/ no honey and juice
Pureed fruits can be added in diet .
