What age is safe to feed baby food?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No magic age: I generally recommend beginning foods at 4 months. Some doctors recommend six months or later. Some parents begin earlier than 4 months without ill effects, and some hold off and breast feed for an entire year (which is pretty remarkable). You should ask your pediatrician his/her opinion.

4-6 months: At 4-6 months it's recommended to start with baby cereal . You can then slowly progress to mashed fruits and vegetables . Water too. An be started t that age.
