hello,
Welcome to Health Care Magic,
Mother's milk is best for babies but weaning should start from six month of age.After six months breast feeding alone does not provide with all the necessary nutrients.
Try purees of frits like mashed bananas,ripe cooked apple.puree of dal,gluten free baby cereals such as rice cereals mixed with milk.
Foods available in market like cerelac and farex are also good.
Take care

hello,
welcome to hcm
thanks for the query
after 6 months you can add other foods in addition to mother's milk
you can give her mashed rice, dal water
also add mashed fruits like apple grape
if you have no monetary problem then you can go for some marketed foods
take care
