I give a few sips after solids. No, give it in a cup or straw cup. I started with few teaspoons then table spoons. I will feed milk first then 30-45 mins later offer solids. Milk intake still the same. For rice, my family eats japonica so I used that. Alternatively, can just use normal rice grain. Fruits, noodles (eg kway teow, meesua, spaghetti), macaroni, veggies, fish and meats.
