A member asked:

My baby has completed 4 months now . till date she us on mother feed now what else solid food can i giv to the baby.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breastfeeding: Your baby will be ready for solids when she is able to take a spoon in her mouth without pushing it out. It is okay to wait to give solids til baby is 6 mos old. There is no need for early solid food introduction.
