You can start adding onions from 6 months, as you introduce solid foods. They must always be very well cooked — raw onions are difficult to digest, gas-producing, and their sharp taste isn't suitable for babies.
Practical tip: Add onions to meals (vegetable soup, puree, lentil dishes) and once they're soft, serve them mashed or finely chopped depending on your baby's age. You're adding onion for flavor and nutrition to the meal, not serving it as a separate food.
