The new WHO recommendations is that babies not receive any solids until 6 months.

I know tapioca is a grain/rice and have used it in casseroles and desserts like rice.

sago ... it looks like rice. when it's cook, it's transparent and very soft and a little sweet. actually i think rice is much better on stomach than sago.

I get these yummy drinks that have tapioca balls in them often so I'm very familiar with it.  Tapioca is a flavorless starch made from the cassava root.  It's used primarily in desserts i.e. tapioca pudding and my drinks.  Tapioca flour is used as a thickener like corn starch or flour.  Not much nutritional value in it as far as I can tell so might as well just skip it.  Give your lo something with more nutrition.  Sago is pretty similar.
