When should i be starting solid foods?

4 months and up: Current recommendations are to start your baby on solid foods, rice cereal being a good first choice, at any age after approximately 4 months but no later than 6 months.

4-6 months: Starting complementary solid foods is as much a psychological/emotional decision as it is medical. Research on food allergies shows that starting somewhere between 4-6 months may be optimal. Equally important is what you feed - start with fresh organic fruits and vegetables if you can.
