Ideally you should wait until your baby is 6 months old to start solids. At this age your baby will have sufficent head control to let him swallow safely, his iron and zinc stores will be getting low, and his digestive system should be matured.
Baby rice/cereal is recommended as a first food. I know my doctor has recommended that for when I start my baby on solids. Baby rice/cereal is full of vitamins and iron and is also normally free of salt and sugar. It's bland which makes it easy for bubs to digest as well.
From six months onwards your baby should still have at lleast 600ml of breastmilk or formula each day.
A book I am reading recommends to try:
Well mashed potato
Well mashed sweet potato
Well mashed pumpkin
Puree carrots
Puree parsnips
Puree Zucchini
Puree cauliflower
Puree stewed apple
Puree stewed pear
Mash banana
Puree mango
Puree split lentils

baby food and baby cereal. any kind of jar food is fine, but they say to wait on the meats until there about 8 months. so start with fruit and veggies

A 5 month old can eat just about anything u eat my son was eating table food at 4months and baby cereal at 3months now he's 7months and eats almost anything i eat, just put it in a food processor.

Have you started on rice cereal? If not start with it. then in about 4-5 days start with a veggie, like carrots, then in 4-5 days add sweet potatoes, etc. Next start on fruits. Before any of this though you really need to talk to your ped to make sure of what they recommend.

most of my kids started on mashed bananas, i would check baby/parenting websites for what not to feed a baby under 1, i know honey is still a no no, strawberries are not recommended especially if your family has food allergies
