After that, a new food can be introduced (once a day, for a week) to see of the child has any allergies. The child may at first reject, or accept very little. Never use a feeding bottle for any liquid food. Use the bowl & spoon right away. Make sure that the vessels and ingredients are clean. Continue breastfeeding. As outside food is added, water has to be added too. make sure it is boiled & filtered. Unclean eating can be a source of infections.

mandn replied. babies intestines do not have enzymes until 6 months ot digest anything other than milk. so its a good idea to wait until 6 motnhs. they will be eating all their lives. whats the harm in waiting for 3 months? D replied. HI, you can start with veg soups, blend the veg, strain and feed. can even cook a few grains of rice in it for a change.
then dal,rice. pressure cooker with water and butter and when over cook give it a blend and strain if needed. it taste yummy.
can over cook rice ,dal,carrots,spinage etc with butter slightly watery after overcooked , blend and feed.
like this can keep trying out new veg and i hope your little one will enjoy yr cooking.
but side by side do give ceralac ,so incase you go outdoor and cant carry homemade food, you baby will be atleast used to ceralac.saying so as one of my friend has a terrible time outdoor as her baby's not used to any other meal than home cooked .
take care and bye rekha replied. hi
