Although there is no hard rule, a few guidelines should be followed. Before giving any food other than breast milk or formula the baby should be able to:
--Hold his head up without assistance
--Sit without flopping forward when propped in an infant seat or high chair
Generally, doctors recommend waiting until the baby is AT LEAST four months old. For families with a history of food Allergies, wait until at least six months or longer.
A good first food is baby rice cereal mixed with formula, breast milk or water. It is best to start babies on bland foods first, since starting on sweet things (baby fruits, some veggies like sweet potatoes) will make baby turn away from bland things she needs in her diet later. Also, starting with a very strong flavor, like baby creamed spinach, could turn baby off to eating solid foods.
Remember when starting baby on solids:
No milk or most dairy until after age one
No seafood until after age 3
No peanuts or peanut products until age 3
No egg whites until after age 2 (egg yolk is ok)
