3-4 stools without change in consistency is acceptable at this age as they begin to mouth every object.
You can start with home made uggu, fruits like banana/ apple by mashing with spoon, slowly u can add boiled and mashed vegetables to the uggu one after the other. Seasonal fruits are all encouraged to be given in a safe manner.
Health Tips
Allow baby also to hold and try to feed themselves.
