My son is 6 mos. old and we are just now starting cereal. So far, not liking it too much. We are going to go slowly. He is breastfeed and I am in no hurry to start him on a bunch of stuff. My doc. said other than cereal, she would not mind him not taking anything else till 9 mos. He is a very healthy chunky baby-19 lbs. 4 oz (breastfeed only). I am going to say 6 mos. on appropriateness of starting solids. I just think it is not a race and just because your baby is of age does not mean forcing the issue. Babies should be ready first by sitting up, being interested in food, etc. Mostly people should listen to their pediatrician because they are over the healthcare of the child.
