Q: I have a four months old baby boy. Can I introduce semi-solid food into his diet now? I have started with powder milk as I had to resume duty. Please guide on various foods (semisolids) to be given at various age.

A:The current recommendations are to start weaning foods only after 6 months of age. If your baby is very hungry and not satisfied with milk alone you could start some mashed fruit like banana or apple puree in a small amount and increase the amount slowly.
