Answer

First baby I was so excited to feed solids so I started at 4 months. It was a lot of wasted food bc he wasn’t sure what to do for a long time. 
Baby #2 we did baby led weaning and started that at 6 months. A lot less wasted food. Took him maybe a month till he was actually eating it rather than playing with it. 
Baby #3 we waited till 7 almost 8 months and he went straight to eating via baby led weaning method. 
Tip: watch for baby cues. Baby will watch you when you eat. Mimic your moves. Drops mouth open when watching you take bites or if you offer a bite they will do it too.

Answer

My son was 6 months old n baby number two is on the way and if he or she is shows their wanting it then it could be 4 months old.

Answer

4m with my son, he was just not staying full any longer on formula. We were feeding every hour around the clock for days. After we started the feedings went back to normal and he slept more, it was wonderful. He has been in normal foods since 5m and even at a year this kid can out eat a typical kid (he has a crazy high metabolism that is hard to keep up with some days).
