What can 6 month old babies drink?

When a child is born, the first thing he/she drinks is the mother's milk, which is loaded with nutrition. That's why it is advised to feed only mother's milk to the child for about 5 to 6 months. But once the baby turns 6 months old, it is advised to introduce solid foods, as that helps with overall development. But, the baby cannot consume Dal, Rice or Roti just like that. It is important to introduce foods that are digested easily. This is why most of the foods introduced at this stage are in pureed form. Here are some of the most nutritious and delicious foods that you can introduce to small babies.
