Detailed explanation-1: -Your child can begin eating solid foods at about 6 months old. By the time he or she is 7 or 8 months old, your child can eat a variety of foods from different food groups.
Detailed explanation-2: -Feeding your baby: 6–8 months old Your baby can eat anything except honey, which she shouldn’t eat until she is a year old. You can start to add a healthy snack, like mashed fruit, between meals. As your baby gets increasing amounts of solid foods, she should continue to get the same amount of breastmilk.
Detailed explanation-3: -While the GI tract is still maturing, infant’s systems are not equipped to digest anything but breast milk. If anything but breastmilk is introduced, even formula, it can permanently alter baby’s gut microbiota, causing problems like necrotizing enterocolitis, diarrheal disease, and allergies.
Detailed explanation-4: -6 to 8 months: 24 to 36 ounces of formula or breast milk over 24 hours (now that your baby’s a more efficient nurser, you’ll probably breastfeed her four to six times a day) 4 to 9 tablespoons each of cereal, fruit and vegetables a day, spread out over two to three meals.
