Breast feeding till six months exclusively is recommended. However if baby is not gaining enough weight the doctor may recommend starting solids and this has to be seen on a case to case basis hence no generalisation. It is better to start with pureed solids and not rice and dal water as these are not optimum calories for your developing baby.

start giving taste of different food to baby jst one spoon, it will develop his interest in food items, this will help you when baby will be 6 months old
