You can start all foods which you cook for yourself but make sure the consistency is soft and it's not spicy. You can start rice preferably start with Red rice or unpolished rice with moong dal. Introduce Vegetable which are yellow orange in colour to meet vitamin a. Start with millets Porridge or fruit blend or puree.
