The ideal age for solids is 6 months. Has he started to sit up? If he has, you can slowly start off with solids. I don’t know where you are from, but any appropriate baby food would do. Please don’t discontinue breast feeding until your little one is atleast 2 years. He doesn’t need animal milk till then.
Health Tips
A new food every week will help you identify allergies.
