If she is gaining good weight, no need to start. Continue with breast feeding till 6 months of age. Later you start semi solid food.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Just because you think she is hungry doesn't mean that she does remain hungry.
Check her weight regularly.
If she is gaining weight and stays active, then she is fine.
Just keep breastfeeding her.
If you feel she is hungry, give more breast milk. Simple.
Till 6 months of age, not even water is required.
Best regards.
