My PD recommended me to start around 5 months. Depending on your LO's development, you can actually start introducing puree at 4 months. If you are intending to do led weaning then do it when LO is 6 months old.

6 months is a good age. Here’s a good guide on introducing solids to your little one: https://sg.theasianparent.com/dos-and-donts-of-introducing-solids-in-your-babys-diet/

I went to kkh and the PD recommended to start solids at 4 months. I started with afew tea spoon of Gerber rice and milk. Just to let her have a taste of it.

Started mine at 6 months. Avocado, basic bland vegetables.. and those (organic) single ingredient cereal that doesn't contain extra sugar.

6th months on wards can start solids , but water can give any time but few spoons .. of water preferred ..

I started mine with solids at 6 months, and a little bit of water after he started solid.
