Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
It is too early to start on solids for 6 months old infant.
However you may start cerelac rice/wheat.
Give fruit juices,vegetable soups,double boiled rice with milk and sugar mking it semisolid/ semiliquid .
smashed ripe banana paste or smashed boiled potato.
Better start solid foods after the baby cuts atleast 3-4 teeth, approximately around 9 months.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
