Hi Chaitanya, your baby is 6 month and have just started foods other than breastmilk so give light and easy to digest foods as the the digestive system has just started working. To begin day start with breast milk. Keep gap of 2 or 2 & 1/2 hr between each solids preferably semi solids. whenever your baby wakes up her routine starts right from thath time. after 1 hr of breastfeed Give breakfast of well cooked oats/ powdered daliya/ suji apple kheer/ suji khir/ cerelac. After breakfast give breastmilk once before lunch . In lunch you can give well cooked moong daal khichdi/ upper layer of chappati mashed in milk or daal/ mashed rice with milk or daal. After lunch give dome gap then you can give few spoons of juices like watermelon, grapes, pomegranate, chickoo, coconut water. Arouund 4 -4. 30 in evening again you can give purees like apple puree/ carrot puree/ potato puree/ tomato puree /beetroot puree/ pear/ papaya/ banana and purees of so many fruits or vegetables .Again between dinner and evening snacks you can breastfeed. In dinner you can again give cerelac, daliya, sabudaana, upper layer of chappati mashed in milk. Whatever you give should be well cooked and in semi solid form . Breastmilk should be given at least for 7-9 times a day. Hope this will help you.

I was expecting a comment from you :) that was really helpful . My baby is 5months old decreased his intake of milk and fully involves in playing , as you said BM of 7-9 times during semi solids but my kid is taking these number of times currently. Iam worried whether he is well nourished ! And I heard somewhere of introducing daal water and rice water how does it prepared ? like as in jes boiling rice in water and feeding those ??
