When to start first food/solid food?

Hello mummies! I'm a first time mother and my daughter is 5 months old. I was told by old folks that I can begin to introduce baby's first food (Like Gerber's kinds) or cereal nestum mixed with milk. However, their packaging stated that it's suitable for 6 months age and above. I'm afraid to start soft food for my baby because I was told that there would chances babies will get colic. However the first food from Gerber's are suitable for ages 4 months and up. Do i try that first?

hi! I had a lot of "buggers" too, asking if I started on purees, rice cereals, porridge etc. I even received kind donations of cerealac which I gave away due to concerns of sugar and arsenic. I was in no hurry to start feeding my son solids, and even waited till he was 7mths, able to sit up well and showed visible signs of interest in our foods 😊 he would stare intently at us eating, then smile and stick out his tongue!
