I think the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) recommends 4 months is when they can be started and reduces risk of allergies. Just ensure they are ready – i.e. good head control, interested etc
Let your baby be your guide. Somewhere around 5-6 months is normal, but can be later if they are getting enough nutrition from Breast milk/ formula. Bub may start waking at night very hungry or not be satisfied after a feed. Start with something like farex mixed with breast milk or formula (whichever Bub is used to) . If Bub is ready for solids then he/she will “chew” and swallow. If Bub gags or chokes then leave it for another week and try again. Don’t rush to try lots of different foods. After a couple of weeks on farex you can try mixing in a spoonful of something new (eg mashed banana or pumpkin). Give new foods a couple of days to see if they have any unwanted side effects before trying another new food. You can then gradually introduce soft foods without the farex.
When bubs ready my first 2, 31/2 months as they were losing weight no3 was 9 months, no 4 was 6 months every child different. Once they stop gagging can start sitting upright, food is for fun under 1
You can start between 4 and 6 months. You would start with rice cereal to get them used to eating and it is also less likely that they would be allergic to it
