Default When do solids become necessary?

I've heard plenty of times not to start solids until 6 mos., but something
I've wondered about: until roughly what age can a baby continue to grow
and thrive on breastmilk alone?


My sister's DD has low muscle tone and gagged on every type of food until
about 20 months of age. She survived just fine on bm alone. She is small
for her age.

I have a 23.5 lb. 9 month old and cannot imagine her not on solids. She be
attached to the breast 24/7 in order to sustain :-)
