The first year of your baby's life is very very special due to the various milestones that are associated with it. One such important milestone is during the sixth month when your baby starts solids.
In India, we celebrate it as the Annaprashan ceremony or the first rice eating ceremony and is held in a lavish way like all other Indian customs.
Shweta Tiwari's son Reyansh Kohli completed six months recently and it was time for his Annaprasan. The excited mother took to Instagram and shared a super adorable picture of her little one having his first solid food, which happened to be kheer. Here's the picture of Reyansh on his Annaprashan day that is breaking the internet today:

Shweta had announced the birth of her son with a lovely message and an adorable pic, “Reyansh Kohli… From the moment they placed you in my arms, you snuggled right into my Soul.”
From that very day, which was November 27, the second time mummy has been sharing pictures of Reyansh and each time she does that he just melts our hearts. Check out another cute video of the little munchkin that she shared on Mother's Day.

Planning your baby's annaprashan ceremony
The annaprashan ceremony, or the baby’s first solid feeding ceremony, is quite popular in the states of West Bengal and Kerela, where it is celebrated with great pomp and show.
If you are also planning the ceremony for your baby, here are some tips for you to keep in mind:
- Meet your baby's paediatrician beforehand to ask which foods can be safely introduced.
- Rice is generally considered a safe first food. If you decide to give the kheer a miss, you may alternatively keep only plain, boiled rice or rice with dal as the offering.
- Ensure the food is prepared in hygienic conditions and the baby is fed with clean hands.
- Feed the baby, not more than two teaspoons of the offering to avoid an upset tummy
- Do not keep too many items on the menu. Stick to the few basic food items.
