Question:
What is an infant's first food(s) in Japan? What age do they start infants on solids?
Answer:
Depends on mother/family, or the baby
I started feeding rice gruel, smashed banana/apple/potato/pumpkin when my baby was around 5 or 6 months (only foods that she could soften in her mouth with her tongue).
Around when she had some baby teeth, I gradually started introducing various food. (I remember)

Actually in Japan, when women get pregnant, they are all given "boshi-techou" (let's say "agenda") by local government. It explains how to take care of babies. It's only guideline but helps a lot. (until baby becomes 6-year) Weight/Height or Immunization records are all put in here. Very handy.
