According to the suggestions of Mayo Clinic, a child should not be given solid foods earlier than four months, but this is not so for all children, a child should be given solid food only when the time is right for it to be done. Therefore if you are a parent and you are thinking of when to give solid food to your child, take some time to do research for what is best for your child.
Before giving your baby food, first observe if the baby can support his/her own head straight without your help and is so, can the baby be able to seat without necessarily having to be supported on the back. If your child manages to do all these you can go ahead and see if the baby likes to have a taste of your own food every time you are eating. Try it slowly at first and then work it in.
