A. no, don't start at this age. WHO and UNICEF recommend that babies be fed nothing but breast milk for their first 6 months of age. wait to introduce solids till 6month

A. Start with a single iron-rich pureed food like baby rice cereal or pureed meat. Offer 1 to 2 teaspoons of first foods after a breast or infant formula feed. Slowly increase this to 2 to 3 tablespoons. Start offering complementary foods once a day and slowly build up to 3 times a day.
