Hello there!
I started my son at four months, but was told I could start at 3. I used to prepare 2-3oz every night, if I saw he finished and still hungry I would breast-feed him.

Hi, I started at 5 months and even then my daughter only ate about two tablesppons. Just start out with a little then you can up the amounts, sometimes if you start too early they won't want it, and they don't relly need it yet!!

I want to say 3-4mo. with it really liquidy and then just watched his cues for what he was ready for.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no sooner than four months, and no later than six. Yeay for the official answer.

When I tried giving my daughter solids at four months, she turned her nose up at it, despite my wishes. She didn't start taking them until she was 5 1/2 months. Personally, I'd wait. Solids aren't nearly as conveinent(sp) as you'd imagine, and formula or BM gives them everything they need until six months. Good luck!
