Starting on semi solid food

Baby S started semi solid food at 5 months 1 week old. Initial plan was to start at 6 months old because PD gave the green light so we started early. PD advised to start with 1/3 feed and slowly replace the 1 afternoon feed with cereal or purees.

I know some parents are very eager to let their baby start semi solid food and start giving them at 4 months old. General guidelines are to start semi solid food at only 6 months old, unless with PD approval.

Signs of Baby S ready to start semi solid food.
1.Have good head control.
2.Able to sit with support.
3.Show interest in our food.
4.Wake up for night feed.

Here are some website that I found that will help parents whose baby is nearing the stage.
