Introducing food to baby
Hi, my baby girl is 5 month old. Every of my friend suggested me to introduce food after 6th month. But my baby is demanding more milk. She is on breastfeed and formula. But everytime she rejects formula, so I am giving only expressed breast milk. She is interested in food. She is not getting satisfied after the feed. Within a hour she again demands. My mom introduced mashed rice with breast milk to her. She is eating very nicely. So can I continue that? Pls give your valuable reply

Hi I can fully understand your worry.
As baby is already on top milk.. you can very well start ..1 solid feed. As she nears 6 months.... slowly increase frequency .
I will be making a video on weaning or introducing solid feed to baby. Please follow me on DrPoonamsvlog on YouTube and Instagram
