Instead of jumping on solids directly, start with liquid and semi solids then slowly move towards on completely solid. In liquid, juices like apple juice, pomegranate juice, lentil soup, rice water is very healthy.

And moreover introducing food early can cause upset stomach, allergies and even obesity. So do wait for six months to start solids and when introducing solids start with semi-solids. And don't forget the three day wait  rule . That is whenever you start giving a solid food, keep on giving it for three days to check any allergic signs. If everything seems normal then switch to other food and do the same.  So wait for six months then open the book of flavors . Over to you, Keep sharinG...
