Manvi there are lot of things that doctors consider before advising that like the weight of the baby, etc. As such it is advised to exclusively breastfeed the child till 6 months and then introduce semi solids. I myself started with semi solids for my kids when they turned 6 months. You must ask your doctor is there are specific reason why he/she has suggested so and if you aren't convinced try taking a second opinion from another paediatrician.
