      After completing 6 months we try solid foods for our baby, most probably pulses, boiled vegetables and boiled rice. Apart from these ingredients we should also trying proteins in our baby's diet plans and here we can get pulse which is a great source of protein and provide good immune system and good health. I would like to follow some of the ingredients from here in order to feed my baby.
