A. It is generally recommended to start solid foods for your baby when they are around 6 months old. At this age, babies usually have developed the necessary skills, like better head and neck control, the ability to sit with support, and interest in food, which makes them ready for solids. Starting solids before 6 months may increase the risk of choking and digestive issues, as their digestive system might not be fully developed yet. However, some babies might show signs of readiness around 5 to 6 months, like sitting up with little or no support and showing interest in food. Since your baby is about to turn 5 months, it's a good idea to wait a bit longer and introduce solids around 6 months for the best developmental benefits. Always consult your pediatrician before introducing solids to ensure your baby is ready.
