my son is 18 weeks this week and i would like to no when it is best to start giving him food. he was 19lb 3oz 2 weeks ago.

every baby is dofferent.
Is he showing signs of wanting and needing solids?
some signs to look for are

waking at night more often
weight not gaining as much
taking an interest in your food

you know your baby so if you think its a good time to try him with food then do so.

try him first with a spoonful of baby rice mixed with a tablespoon of milk. Make sure there are no lumps.
Try him when hes not too hungry and not too tired.

good luck

mum in september, where have you been?! you dissapeared didn't you!!
i have just started Louie on solids last week, he is 19 wks & he weighed 14 lb last wek, so he is smaller than your son, try him with maybe some baby rice & see what he thinks, or a rusk mashed with his usual milk.
