The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

The widely accepted recommendation from the WHO (World Health Organization) and AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) is at 6 months of age (once baby turns 6 months old).

While some babies may start between 4-6 months under doctor supervision, current pediatric guidance recommends only breast milk (or formula) before 6 months. Signs of readiness include sitting up with support, holding their head steady, showing interest in food, and losing the tongue-thrust reflex.

But every baby is different. The best move is to check with your pediatrician about the right time for your baby.
