The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

When starting first tastes of complementary foods, the safest and most common approach is around 6. months. The purpose of first tastes isn't nutrition, but introducing your baby to solid foods. For the first taste, choose one well-cooked and mashed vegetable (sweet potato, carrot, squash) or fruit (banana, apple puree). Offer once a day, just 1-2 teaspoons, after nursing or formula, not before. Add each new food 3-5 days apart and watch for allergy signs (rash, diarrhea, vomiting). Your baby should be able to sit upright first and show interest in food. This is the common schedule; adjusting it to fit your own baby requires talking with your pediatrician, which is always best.
