First give liquid base food then start semisolid food as per child's response...food should be home made...
You can give jaggery in liquid base after 6 completed months of age..

Actually babies need to be exclusively breast fed till 6 months
of age. After that u can start complimentary feeding like u mentioned including ragi porridge, cereals, pulses,rice n vegetable or fruit puree by starting 2-3 times a day and gradually increasing it to 5-6times a day along with on demand breastfeeding (to be continued till 2yrs age if possible)
Next Steps
*From around 8months to 1yr age incude family pot diet
with various textures and variety
Helpful Tips
*You can add jaggery to your ragi porridge
*use sprouted pulses for improving nutritional value
