Introducing Solids

When is a good time to introduce solids ?
Well, there is no absolute time for this- you can introduce as early as 3 months.

What should be the first foods?
To start with , you can get your baby taste a little bit of banana/mango(or any other soft fruit) pulp.
Getting your kid used to a new taste takes a while and so you might want to try them slowly. Banana is generally a favorite for kids. They readily accept it and it can be easily mashed which makes it easy for us to prepare :).

Should cereal be included ?
In good old days, people used to give cereal as a supplement. But now a days docs are saying that giving a cereal is not mandatory and you can add a variety of pureed and/or boiled fruits and vegetables to their diet.
