From 4 th month one can start giving solid foods to baby,but ideally from 6 month.
Gradually mother milk is to be replaced by solid food.
Soft rice dal &ghee is the best food for growing baby.As he grows pieces of chapati mixed with milk also be given.
Soups of vegetables,banana,smashed potato,dalia,fruit juice are the other options.
