Amrita RaoMom of 2 children8 years agoA. You should go through the article fully. There are certain signs of readiness which is listed there such as a baby can sit straight with support, has developed the ability to swallow food, shows interest in what you are eating, has doubled her birth weight etc. Some babies are genetically advanced and show readiness in four month itself. But still its better to wait till six month of the baby and breastfeed till that time if you are unsure.
