answers to your questions
1- fish is not a weaning food. Start her on soft semi solid diet like banana, apple puree, carrot puree, cerelac, oatmeal, soft khichri, sagudana, dalya, sooji ki kheer, chawal ki kheer.
2- Yes you can a little.
3- yes sagudana can be given , start with water then you can cook with her formula or fresh diluted milk in the start.
4- No issues. some baby teeth by 9 months also or may be up to 1year. so need to panic
5-Not daily. In case of coughing or flu you can nebulize her with normal saline or atem mixed with saline whenever you need twice a day.
6- There's an app with the name of CDC MILESTONE TRACKER. follow that for milestones and you can consult well baby clinic every 3 months or 6 months as per your convenience.
1. No don't start with fish please. Will be great if you can get customized complementary feeding plan for your baby.
3. Yes sabudana is fine.
4. It's a natural process not an issue for now.
