enig... do a serach on this site.. this topic was just recently discussed by GTG and there was a very detailed thread started by sahar a yr ago.

where are you? in europe its ok to start from 4 months... elsewhere.. 6.

depends on ure kid really.

i starteed my son at 4 months and by 6 he was having proper meals.

my girl was slow cuz of allergies... so she started at 5 but is now having proper meals at 7 months

my baby will be six months in 10 days and I still havent started... he is staring at the food, wants to grab it.. we did the dry run with the spoon only to see if he understands.. oh sure he does!!! the doc had advised me 6 months but yeah in a week or so, we will be having our first solid food either sweet potato, avocado, or oatmeal cereal. (mommy hasnt figured it out yet :D)

Enig...it really depends on your child. Our doc. told us to start at 4 month but my baby just wasnt ready (i even posted here abt it.) He is now 8 months mA and still giving me a hard time abt solids. He hates baby food and wants to eat what we are eating. He loves furits but not the baby purees but the acutal furit. I did start him with oatmeal, rice cereal ...baby foods... but now i have been giving him home made rice cooked with different vegatables...or daal.
