You really need to have a doctor see your child. A lot depends on the baby's growth rate and weight and whether she is thriving or doing poorly. The safest foods are mashed banana and baby cereals. Can you buy those where you live? But, see a doctor, there are shots your princess should be getting to protect her from diseases.

@faisal777 You don't need a specialist. Your baby needs her shots and to make sure she is doing well.

Are there no other women with babies where you live who you can ask? Are there no doctors who can inform you about child care?

@faisal777 @faisal777 The members of this site live in different countries all over the world. You haven't mentioned where in the world you live. I'm sure advice should come from someone living in your own country and not on a different continent where completely different products are sold.

You can give mashed banana or cooked apples mixed with some milk or curds. You can also cook some rice, dhal and vegetables together mash it well and add some ghee and feed it to the child ,It is very healthy and nutritious.

Ask your pedia.. She knows when is the right time to feed and what to feed. Tho in that age, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and the like. But you should ask really her pedia..

It's been so long since I had babies.. but I can recall feeding a five month old baby wit mashed fruits and vegetables ..so you may try that.. and make sure the baby gets enough liquid .. you can also do some research online to help you .. all the best ..
