6months. According to the latest medical research by AAP and various medical centres, it is advised that babies only have milk for their first 6mo of life and thereafter transit to solids as their developing digestive system is not ready to accept food earlier than 6mo. And there’s no need to rush into it. The first food I gave was apple toast sticks
