Solids can be started by 6 months. Regular food like rice Dal vegetables ragi banana etc can be given. After cooking you can mash the food with hands and feed the baby. Wheat based foods can be started by 8 months. Gradually by 8 months introduce two new foods every week. Total 4 times semisolids and 4 times milk is to be given.
