Bloiled mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes
Add 1item every 3rd day

At 6 months, feed your baby two meals, each 2 to 4tablespoons with cereal, such as oatmeal, rice, barley and pulses in fully pureed and almost semi liquid consistency. Later you increase the consistency, texture, amount and diversity

Please start giving complementary food after 6 completed month . Give a single food 3-4 days so that kid can adjust with the food then introduce new food .
