Yes soya bean milk is good for children below 1 year and should be introduced after 6 months. Also ensure it's prepared appropriately.

Yes you can. However it is best to introduce new foods to your child one at a time so if child has an allergic reaction you can easily know which food the child is reacting to. In your case you may introduce crayfish for a some days, if no reaction then you introduce groundnuts and so on. If baby has no adverse reaction then you can mix all and give at once.
All aforementioned are healthy foods but it is better to introduce these one at a time not mixing everything together at once so as to be able to watch out for allergic reaction.
No.... Don't start all at once incase the child reacts to one of the ingredients... You will not know which it is ... Start with pap and milk.... Then you can start adding the other ingredients one at a time say one new addition per week
Yes soya beans is good for children below 1 year
Adding palm oil is a way of fortifying the pap. Add just a table spoon
Get the soya beans and remove the dirts, take to grinder to break and remove the chaffs, then come back wash and soak it for 24 hours, changing the water every 6 hours i.e. if you soak it 6am, you change the water by 12pm, then 6pm, 12am and then 6am the next day, the soaking is to allow it to ferment, after that put in a pot, add enough water and boil it for 45 minutes (begin to count 45 minutes after it reached the boiling point), the boiling is to remove the toxins, after boiling it, dry it under the sun, after that go back to the grinder and grind to powder, it is not advisable to add dry unripe plantain. Please this is the healthiest way to prepare soya beans more especially for children. It is very necessary for it to ferment and for the toxins to be removed
It does not have to be unripe plantain....ripe plantain is fine. You can but ADD ONE NEW FOOD AT A TIME!!!”.
Yes. I started including it to my baby's pap @ 6 months
