If he's over the tongue reflex and can open his mouth and swallow the food, go ahead. We started fruit and veg at 4.5 months with our daughter. She loves it! I think the 6mo. is just to ensure they are ready, but if you think yours is ready beforehand, go ahead and try. Every baby is different, trust that you know what your baby needs!
