As the baby is 5 months old, start giving various pulses cearry. Make green gram, wheat, ragi sprouts. Dried one make the flour. You should be cautious these are added one after the other, because ther will be chances of allergy. This cearry is made by boiling the flour in milk and add jagerry and ghee.Careful, slowly increase the quantity. Also give fruits and boiled vegetables in various way. Now your baby will start looking for the taste. Dont worry, unless your is not active, you dont have to worry.Take care. Your baby will grow.
