he dear sujathanagandla, welcome to hcm.
7th to 8th month is the period wherein there should be a transition from the breast milk (which has a sourish and salty taste) to a similar food which is introduced only as an addition.
So, I kindly recommend You to introduce Lactogen2 only in the morning for the first week; followed by morning and afternoon in the second week and then in the third week only,should it be introduced fully. U can add soup prepared from RAGI, which is the best to be used in this period, and continue it. In the 7th month, introduce mashed Banana and in the 8th month, add mashed rice and dal and in the 9th-10th month, vegetables,rice,dal,etc and from the 11th-12th month onwards, u can introduce the usual food items prepared at home.
Please avoid lot of sweets and spicy foods.. it causes gastric irritation and creates a dislike for the food items.. Dont be in a hurry to feed everything once for all.
Happy parenting;-)
