When should you start to feed a baby some baby food?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
4 to 6 months: Most pediatricians recommend starting solid foods between four and six months. Starting too soon or waiting to long may increase risk of allergies. The child should be able to sit with support. He or she should have good head/neck control.
