Is it OK to start solids at 5 months?
Remember, there’s no need to rush this milestone. Most babies are ready to start solids between 5 and 6 months. Don’t start solids before 4 months.
How much solids should my 5-month-old eat?
Solid foods: If you and baby’s pediatrician have decided to feed baby solids, go slow and follow baby’s cues. You might start out with one ounce at a meal and gradually increase the amount to about three ounces three times a day, if it seems like baby enjoys eating that much.
