How solids usually goes at 4 months old
When the tongue-thrust reflex weakens and baby watches adults eat, those are readiness signs. Starting is generally around 5–6 months — no need to rush.
What to keep an eye on
Starting too early can strain digestion and raise allergy concerns, so don't force it.
