If it were me, I would try giving solids. But if he didn't take it well after the first couple of days, hold off for another couple of weeks. It's recommended to wait until 6 months. With my experience, it was wonderful with John, he took to it right away at 4 months...but with Zoe I should have waited. If during the day he is crying for more, I would probably give it to him...babies stop when they are full unless they are using it to satisfy a sucking need.
Just wondering...does he put himself to sleep?
