Hello.
I presume that you have initiated complementary feeds in your child. Once started, you need to be aware about a number of food items that your child can consume.
Mashed banana, pureed fruits all, mashed potato with a bit of salt, to make it calorie dense you can had desi ghee to it. Please continue breast feeds exclusively for a little longer before you start giving these meals. No bottle feed.
Next Steps
Exclusive breast feed is recommended till 6 months.
