Can Pulse And Soup Be Added In Diet To A 5 Months Old Child?
Hi. My baby is five months and exclusively breastfed until now. So that she gets use to outside feed, we started nan one, but she outright refuses it. Can we start other foods like dal water, soup etc along with mother milk. Is it ok if she refuses formula

Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM .
Usually these foods you mentioned are given after completion of 6 months.
You may start them a bit early along with breast milk if the baby does not accept formula.
If you like you may try another formula other than nan,because the taste may be different in different formulas.
Hope this reply is OK for you.
