Shonali replied. My son is 5 mths old.Since he completed 4mths I've started initially with mashed apple & slowly I upgraded with moong dal khichdi(rice & moong dal only) & cerelac Wheat apple. He is gaining good weight.Just be sure that the food is properly mashed with a hand mixie. He is still on breast feed hence I've not started with outside milk. jk replied. i am following this diet chart by hetal.my baby has gained good weight. what is your son height ?

wat isur baby's wt
if she isactive enof then dont worry abt wt.
and about his eating
so

u can start theday with milk
then u can give him mashed banana or mashed apple (steamed)
bread soaked in milk cornflakessoaked in milk
dal (moong or toor)with ltl salt
or biscuits with milk sometimes
boiled and mashed vegeis
mashed rice
soji r rice kheer
daliya very thin and totally mashed
same with khichadi these are the things which are very easily digestible.
u can add diff vegeis also to daliya or khichadi.

PLZ BE SURE ALL THE THINGS SHUD BE VERY THIN AND MASHED PROPERLY.
