To start complementary foods, the World Health Organization (WHO) and most pediatric institutions jointly recommend 6. month.
That is, when your baby turns six months old — between week 17 at the earliest and week 26 at the latest — you can transition from breast milk or formula to solid foods. Before 4 months is definitely not recommended; 6 months is both the safest time and most widely accepted in terms of digestive system maturity and allergy risk.
Signs that your baby is ready include sitting upright with support, full head control, showing interest in food, and loss of the tongue-thrust reflex (extrusion reflex). Starting with a single ingredient (such as vegetable puree) and adding new flavors every few days is a safe approach to monitor for possible allergies.
