Weaning food

I started solids for A when he was 5 months. I was to resume job soon. His paed was against bottle feeding as bottle is prone to infections, hence didnt want to start bottle. I was to leave A in daycare or with nanny, they won't have motivation to spoon feed milk. So starting solids was better. His paed recommended to start it.
I started one new food at a time and increased quantity gradually over 4-5 days. I started with fruits/veg first because they are easy to digest than cereals.  Here is the order I introduced. I will post the recipies in separate post.
*Banana
*Apple
*Rice
*Carrot
*Yellow moong daal
*Sweet potato
*Chikoo
*Green Beans
*Ragi
