Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question. The recommended age range to begin solid foods is 4-6 months. So as long as everything else is ok, it is time to start. I recommend beginning with baby cereal. It comes as oatmeal, rice, and barley. It should be mixed with formula or breast milk in a bowl and fed with a spoon, as much or as little as your baby wants.
