If your child has completed 5 months you can start Nestum rice or cerelac (rice based). No biscuits till 8 months of age. They cannot tolerate at this age.
If 5 months not completed then give formula milk like similac1 or lactogen1.
Ideally weaning is started after completion of 6 months of age.
Hope your doubts are cleared.
Next Steps
Ask your pediatrician about weaning when you go for vaccination at 6 months.
