My baby just used milk (from mother) in the first 5 - 6 months, then I turned to powder and then soft rice when my baby got full year.

my daughter is almost 5 months old and her dr told me I could start her on fruits n veggies. So far she's had bananas, green beans, peas and sweet potatoes and she loves them all! I mix them with cereal and she gets it at dinner time before bed. I've been giving her rice cereal for over a month though. I started putting it in her bottles then started spoon feeding it to her about 3 weeks ago

Well for my daughters 5-6 months but for my son 4-6 months. The reason I started my son quicker because I could tell he was going of milk. But I Gave apple yogurts and little rice cakes,then after a month I started on jars the younger the baby the smoother the food. But when they go to about 6 months I gave them toast so they could suck the butter off. And also when they're older and about to start proper solids when you eat your lunch sit him/her in front of you and teach him/her to chew By chewing your food and making Yum Yum,Nom Nom or chew chew noises. .

Breast milk is an ideal food for the baby and should be encouraged to the age of 2 years if possible.

Exclusive breast feeding is recommended for 1st 6 months of age provided that the intake of breast milk is adequate and the child's growth is satisfactory.

After that age, breast milk alone may not be enough to ensure normal growth.

Complementary feeding can be started at 6 months of age in a normal baby.

I started my baby when she was 5 months. That was my doc's advice. Some baby cereal at first, some baby rice, then slowly some fruit, some veggies. I gave her some melt-in-your-mouth cookies for desser as well. But no, I wouldn't give it to her from 2 days old, maybe back then they did, but not now.
