Brief Answer:
After 6 months...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Pediatric associations around the world recommends exclusive breast feeding upto 6 months. If your baby is feeding well and growing and developing normally, avoid any other feeds for the next 3 and half months. You can start top feeds and other soft diet only when your baby turns 6 months ago.

Hope I answered your question.
