Ah... we just went through this three weeks ago. Our little guy turned 6 months last week and we introduced solids when he was about 5.5 months.
We thought he was ready because he's already able to sit up straight, has strong neck (and can look away when he's had enough) and has almost tripled his birth weight so milk alone would not be enough to give him the daily intake of calories.
We also skipped rice cereals for fear of constipation and allergies. The first food was avocado - it's easy to make, no boiling necessary, no putting in blender necessary. We just picked an avocado that's firm but has a slight give when you press them slightly, cut them in quarters and put them into these little containers and pop them in the freezer (so the avocado doesn't turn brown... there's nothing wrong with it, we just don't like how it looks after it's oxidized :)).
We give him a quarter of avocado (mushed, mixed with a bit of milk to make it creamy) at 7PM (his bedtime is 8). That would then be his dinner + a bottle of milk. The first night we gave him that, he slept for 8 hours (as opposed to the usual 6). As we upped the amount of solids that he takes, his sleep gets longer and longer. This past week he's been sleeping from 8PM to 730AM without waking up for a feed, and since we didn't change anything we'd like to think that it's the solids that's preventing him from waking up hungry in the middle of the night.
At the beginning, though, I was almost convinced we didn't do it right because he had this weird face whenever we put the mush into his mouth (he didn't spit it out or gag or anything, but he made it clear he wasn't impressed), and he much preferred milk. Turns out that he was just getting used to the new texture and taste and now he practically inhales it.
At this point we've tried: avocado, sweet potatoes (not a big fan), pear, and we're gonna try carrot next. We make the food ourselves (using Baby Bullet) but turns out that, with carrot, it's preferable to get the bottled ones because raw fresh carrots have a lot of nitrates. Who would've known?
Good job on transitioning your LO out of the room! It was the same for us too - he sleeps better on his own. We got rid of the swaddle at around 3 months tho, cos we didn't want him to roll over in his sleep swaddled. We used Woombie convertible when we were in the in-between stage (about 1 week) and he now sleeps in Halo Sleep Sack.
GOOD LUCK! <3
