According to the health hub KidsHealth, doctors recommend parents wait until their babies are at least six months old before they can start eating solid foods and do not recommend they start before four months.

Signs that babies are ready to start eating solids include the following:

• They can sit in a high chair and have good neck and head control.
• They are interested in food (open their mouths or reach for other people's food).
• They don't push food out of their mouths (a natural tongue reflex that disappears between the ages of four to six months).
• They are close to or weigh twice their birth weight.
