Hi there, def offer solids after breast milk, until 12mo milk is their primary source of nutrition, solids are for "fun" as such, at least at such a young age they are
I found the Annabel Karmel meal planner v helpful for what to feed my babies

Milk first then solids an hour later. Then She should be hungry enough again to want to try the solids!

Check out the wholesome baby food web site (sorry I don't know how to link on my phone). It helped us a lot!

we intro'd new foods at 8am every day (bf at 7am) for three days - if no reaction, we moved these foods to lunch at 12noon and intro'd more new in the morning....
didn't give any solids at teatime till around 7mths I think, once we had a good base for what to give/not to give.

we did tastes of individual foods after brekkie for 3 days, then moved them to lunch when they were good to go, added another food am etc etc. Mine both loved their solids - Emma was eating soft chunks of fruit and veg at 6.5-7mths no problem...

we didn't do teatime till closer to 8mths I think...
