Ideally exclusive breast feeding should be given till 6 Months that means no food other then breast milk till 6 Month.
If the child is gaining weight, milk secretion is good, baby is healthy otherwise, u have not started your job then u must continue breast feeding till 6 Month of age & later on u can start top feeding. No hurry is needed to develop taste in baby.
