Many parents have ambivalent feelings about starting solid foods.
Sure it can be interesting to start something new, but nursing a baby whenever he is hungry makes things so simple. It provides complete nutrition in a liquid, and there is no need to worry that baby is eating something that might make him sick or that he might choke on. There is not an exact age at which you must introduce solid foods, but your baby will not be ready until he is at least four months of age, and will more likely be ready closer to six months, or older. La Leche League, an authority on breastfeeding, suggests that babies begin solid foods around the middle of the first year. Since each child will be ready for solids at a different age, it s better to watch for signs of possible readiness rather than start them just because they are a certain age.
