I started solids for my DD last night - she's one week away from being 5 months. We've been giving her little tastes of things on our fingers since just before 4 months old and she's been enjoying tasting. Yesterday at first she was pushing the spoon away but then after a couple of times she decided she liked it and would open her mouth up, take the spoon, swallow the food and then open her mouth for more before I'd even gotten the next spoon full ready. I guess she was ready to start solids!
