jes replied. hi,
give ragi porridge it nice for the baby.I used to give ragi and banana powder u get it in stores for her at 5 months. mdmom replied. Hi Puja,

I wouldnot start her on sippy cup yet! A 5 month old' s diet primarily consist of milk and if she is taking milk from bottle, let her. Start Nuby when she is about 10-12 months old. My daughter (now 18 mths) didnot drink much milk from Nuby or sippy cups (I tried 4 different kinds), she just played with them.

You can introduce rice cereal, porridge or khichdi. Then you can start her on Gerber-1 foods for pureed vege' s and fruits slowly.

Good Luck!
