Milk still matters
Solids complement breast milk or formula in this stage. Do not replace milk feeds suddenly.

Pediatrician advice for medical needs
Before day 1
Keep the first month calm and observable.
One change at a time
New food, new texture, or new timing - change one thing so reactions and preferences are easier to observe.
Small is normal
First portions can be tiny. The first month is about practice, comfort, and routine.
No force feeding
Feed slowly, watch cues, and pause when baby turns away, cries, gags repeatedly, or seems done.
30-day plan
Four weeks, one simple progression.
Use this as a routine guide, not a strict calendar. Repeat a day when baby needs more time.
Days 1-7
Start tiny and repeat
Help baby get used to the spoon, taste, and routine.

Parent note
Use this with your baby's readiness and your doctor's advice.
- Use pediatrician advice for readiness, allergies, reflux, premature birth, medical conditions, or growth concerns.
- Avoid honey before 12 months. Keep added sugar, very salty foods, juice, and choking hazards out of first meals.
- Start with smooth textures, then gradually increase consistency and variety as your baby is ready.
Quick answers
Common first-month questions.
Is this a medical feeding plan?
No. This is a practical parent guide for routine building. For medical questions, allergies, feeding delays, or growth concerns, use your pediatrician's advice.
Can I use this if my baby is just turning 6 months?
Use it only when your baby is developmentally ready and your pediatrician has not advised otherwise. Start tiny, keep textures smooth, and continue milk feeds.
What should I buy first?
Most parents can start with the Baby Starter Combo, Sprouted Ragi, Raw Nendran Banana, or Brown Rice & Moong Dal depending on taste, routine, and ingredient comfort.
Where does weight support fit?
Weight gain and weight support are important parent concerns, but the first 30 days should stay calm and practical. Use filling bases and routine support without expecting guaranteed outcomes.
