“Annaprashana” is a ceremony of Hindu families, performed to mark a baby’s first introduction to solid food after it’s birth. The term “anna” means ‘food’ mainly ‘boiled rice’ and “Prasana” means ‘eating’ specifically ‘the first feeding of a child’. This ceremony is done when the baby is of six to eight months old if it is a boy and in case of girl, it should at the age of seven to nine months age. It is done at that age because at that period the child gains the strength to digest the cereals and rice. In some special cases, where the child is found to be very weak, the time can be postponed further
