Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, My child is 7 months old. He is a boy. I want to know what solid food I can start giving him. He is 6.36 kgs right now and not gaining much from last 1.5 months. Pls advice.
Hello. I just read through your question. The recommended age range to begin solid foods is 4-6 months. So as long as everything else is ok, it is time to start. I recommend beginning with baby cereal. It comes as oatmeal, rice, and barley. It should be mixed with formula or breast milk in a bowl and fed with a spoon, as much or as little as your baby wants.
