I started first foods at 3 months for all three of my kids, and second foods at like five months, and third foods at like eight months.

Ideally never; that stuff is pretty junky. Useful reading: "Cheating Babies: Nutritional Quality and Cost of Commercial Baby Food " cspinet.org/ reports/ cheat1.html

Breastfeed exclusively for the first 6 months. Don't believe the manufacturers if they say younger - they just want to shift more product. And make your own when you can it's far healthier and more nutritious not to mention cheaper.

You dont have to buy into the whole 'Stage 1' crap. Your baby when ready can eat steamed veggies, soft fruits, cheeses and breads. This usually occurs are 6 months, sometimes a bit later. Watch for clues and the pinscher grasp control. I never bought any of the commercial baby foods. You will have an easier time going the baby led weaning route. I did. There is no need to spoon feed, when the baby is ready they will pick it up and eat, at first they wont get much in, but with practice and patience it will happen
