You can give plain boiled and cooled water. No need to add taal mishri/sugar routinely.
If baby is above 6 months:
• Continue breastfeeding/formula
• Homemade soft foods are best: khichdi, dal-rice, curd, roti mashed in dal, vegetables, fruits
• Mango and watermelon are generally safe if fresh, clean and given in small amounts initially
• Avoid packed juices, very spicy/oily food, excess sugar and outside cut fruits
If loose motions/cold/cough are present, continue normal diet and fluids unless vomiting is significant.

Greetings
Give your baby simple boiled water that has been cooled to room temperature.Avoid adding taal mishri or sugar, as plain water is best for infant health.Ripe mango and watermelon are completely safe to introduce starting at 6 months.Serve these fruits as a smooth puree or finely mashed to prevent choking.Other great first foods include iron-rich pureed lentils, rice porridge, and mashed banana.
