We decided to give solid foods at 4 months. It is recommended that you start solid foods between 4-6 months of age. This post will tell you all about our journey with solid foods and the steps we took. A quick overview: We started oatmeal at 4 months, did purees at 5 months, started bite sized pieces at 6 months, and by 7 months she was eating what we eat for the most part.This is a great post to read on knowing when your baby is ready for solid food.
