Four to six months is usually an acceptable time to start weaning your baby. At six months, the first tooth may pop out and thereafter, 1 tooth every month (This is not the rule with every child). When this happens, it is normally a sign that you can start making the food harder and harder, perhaps starting with mashed food. At this age, kids also have a tendency to mouth things - carrots and other finger foods are good for the child to chew on and rub in the gums but he/she is unlikely to eat them up. By the age of 9 months, the child could start eating a little of a few of the things you eat on the table - ugali, some little rice, mashed potatoes et.c Progress thereafter will depend on the child and what you expose him/her to.
