When should you introduce solids to your baby ?

I'm a first-time mom, and my baby girl just turned 6 months yesterday. At her last pediatrician visit, the doctor suggested we start introducing solids around 5.5 months. We tried giving her banana, daal ka pani, sweet potato, and water, but she really didn’t like any of it. We paused for a couple of days and tried again, thinking maybe she was ready this time. But seeing other babies online starting solids at 4 or 5 months and eating so well made me feel like I must be doing something wrong. I didn’t want to give up though, so today I started again — this time with a banana shake mixed with breast milk. She had a few sips but mostly spit it out. Still, I’m trying to keep offering it gently. I don’t have any extra help around, but a good friend gave me some advice: "Don’t focus on filling her tummy. Right now, it’s just about letting her taste different foods and getting used to the idea." That really helped shift my mindset. I also searched for videos on how to feed babi...

A Letter to My Own Body

Dear Body,
You and I have a bond like a real connection for years. I think m in a devoted relationship with you where sometimes I feel so confident and sometimes I get myself very low. Well, for my whole life, I have always loved you when I supposed to know your importance, made time for exercise or have given you the love and appreciation that you deserve. But, I am sorry because it took me so long to learn how much should I love you.

I am sorry that I avoided you for so many years and that I hated you so much. I am sorry that it took me so long to realize I was getting you into terrible shape. I'm sorry for those nights that I spent crying myself to sleep, wishing that I was more attractive. I am sorry for that moment when i have created a single negative thought that I have ever had about you. I am sorry for those nights too whenever i got mood swings, i have eaten a lot without thinking about you, sometimes i really think that how badly I was treating you.Twenty-three years,exactly what I am and how badly I was making you feel for sometime. Actually, I was just afraid to face you, it's really made me embarrass, that's why i was unable to confront you. I didn’t think ever that it would be possible for me to get out of this behavior and will stop the self hatred and most of all, to stop the excuses. But now, I have understood that troubling you will give me only the horrible shape. 

So, I have started exercise. When I started to take care of you, I finally saw just how beautiful I really was. It was me, why didn't I do it earlier. Now, I feel so confident. However, I never saw it before. Thank you for giving me the shape that I needed. Thank you for realizing me how to love and appreciate you. Thank you for teaching me to look in a mirror confidently and see what a beautiful body I have. I love you so much now and myself too for all the great things you have given back to me. 

You just don't need to be so perfect, just have to believe in yourself. 
Thank You
Love You
