Hi
weaning / supplementary food for a baby should start from 6 month.
But sometimes we need to started early depending on baby weight.
If your baby is on the healthy weight then start from the 6 month.If he is underweight and not taking the milk properly then you can consult a doctor/ nutritionist that weaning foods/ supplementary can be start early or not.
If you want to discuss further you can opt for a personal chat option
Meet a Dietician/Nutritionist for personalized diet plan.if required
Eat healthy!! Stay Healthy !! As it's the body in which you have to live in!
