Listen , as u r busy as u r working lady u want to wean 13-14 months.
U can but at the cost of your child.
The weaning is started after six months.
Choose the earliest way.
Messed banana is most easy.
If non vegetarian boiled egg white part.
Rice over cooked consume all family members. So as kid just message it with lil ghee n just lil salt. Add just two three things so that wean in time your kid which makes him healthy, not Fallin sick again n again. Lot of benifits. I m sure you probably stop feeding so in that case u use outside milk chances of gut infection is there.
Just started at time u can manage everything as u manage job.
It's my sincere request but it's your life.do as much as I can.
