When are you starting solids/baby food?

Michele
My pediatrician is all about introducing cereal and first foods at 4 months due to decreased risk of allergies. I personally want to wait until my baby is 6 months old to start introducing foods per research I have been doing since before I got pregnant. My baby is EBF. I know there is new evidence that starting at 4 months helps with food allergies, but also controversially to that there is evidence saying you should wait until 6 months. Also there is evidence that starting earlier than 4 months has a greater risk for obesity. My little man is perfectly happy still just nursing. He seems satisfied when he's done and has plenty of wet and poo diapers. He is gaining weight as he should. I know your not supposed to wait longer than 6 months so I was going to start at 5 1/2 months. What is your take on this subject? (My baby just turned 4 months today)
