if your child is healthy & happy please dont start any solids before 6 months

However if there is any reason for starting solids early (advice by doc, u returning to work & baby not accepting bottel etc) then u can try giving her a little rice cereal. There r a number of precooked baby cerals available. U will have to mix this with a little water or milk (BM/Formula, no cows milk)
Anoter option is ragi. Cook the ragi pwdr in a little water and give it to the baby. Make it thin at first.
Or u could start with fruit. Mashed Banana is the best option. Start with one feed.. at any rate dont give more than two feeds of semi solids till 6 months. It' s better to introduce other vegetables, fruits & cerals \" after 6 months only\" . Though some babies r fine with Sooji, most get constipated. Better to start sooji after 10 months or 1 year. Also dont give stuff like dal paani & juices this early. They contain mainly water.. your baby needs food with more calories

Writing this from my exp. I started soilds at 4 months. My daughter was not gaining weight and would not drink formula. So I was adviced to give her two semi solid feeds a day.

hi priyanka,
a baby should be exclusively breast fed or fromula fed for the first 6 months.Please dont force your baby to have solids at this stage.resist any temptations to feed him her solids as it will terribly upset the stomach.for your informatuon upto 1 year milk should form 75% of his diet.start solids only after 6 months completed.
the bottom line is\" NO SOLIDS TILL 6 MONTHS COMPLETED..OK\"
