Solids for 6 months baby
Hi doc , My daughter is 5months and 3 weeks old . I have started feeding solids for her from yesterday . could you pls help me to understand how much solids and milk will she need  ? How many times a day do i need to provide solids for her and in what time interval  ? And what fruits and vegies can I give her ? Right now am giving cooked and smashed apple, carrot and idily . What are the other solids that I can give her ? When can we add ghee and cheese to her food  ? Since I have started solids she is not taking formula/breastmilk from bottle .What can I do about this ? Thanks in advance !

At this age,you need to give 1 solid and 5 milk feeds,one of which should be top milk feed,the rest being breastfeeds. Give whatever you feel like,in a semisolid form,give 5-6 spoons of water after the solid feed.
