Hi Doctor My baby is 6 months 10 days old. He was exclusively on mother feed till 6 months. Now I have just started weaning him with banana shake, chikoo shake or in mashed form, suji kheer, apple juice... Please suggest if I am going in right direction and suggest some more foods for him. And if possible, please give a weaning diet chart with time gap. Thanks & Regards Isha
