Is anyone else’s pediatrician pushing starting solids before 6 mo?

This is probably controversial, but I don’t feel comfortable at all starting any solids before 6 mo. I genuinely don’t feel it’s a good idea for a baby who can’t sit independently to eat solids, and I’m TERRIFIED of choking. My daughter has choked a couple times on her bottles before, and it was so scary. I can’t imagine her choking on actual food.

We went for her 4 mo appointment the other day, and her pediatrician, who we love, was fairly pushy about starting her on solids now. She said it’s so she can get a taste of it now, but I just don’t see the point. She spits out anything we put in her mouth that isn’t in a bottle or the Frida medi-paci.

I also don’t understand why the standard suddenly changed— it’s been the recommendation that you start solids at 6 months for MANY years, and now just recently they’ve decided you should start at 3-4mo??

Edited to add: we have no history of food allergies in the family, and we’ll definitely be introducing nuts and other allergens before a year. She isn’t showing any signs of readiness and doesn’t show any interest in my food. If she was reaching for my food and such I’d definitely consider starting her earlier
