Just because they seem developmentally ready for solids, doesn't mean their stomach is ready & mature enough to digest them. I would strongly suggest waiting a few more months to begin. And also, if he's started to nurse more frequently, maybe he's going through a growth spurt and he's nursing frequently to boost your supply, if you start supplementing with solids instead, your body wont know that it needs to make more milk and may cause you to have problems with your supply.... Here's a site that explains what other signs to look for and advice for the baby who seems ready to eat.. http://www.kellymom.com/nutrition/solids/solids-when.html
