We have been trying to give our daugther rice cereal since she was 4 months old. The day she turned 5 months, she decided that she loves to eat cereal. We have been giving her a meal of cereal at night before her last feeding (1 Tablespoon).
Should we be doing more than one feeding of cereal a day or is once a day enough? What is the next step and how long should I just be giving her rice cereal for?

hi there
they say that milk is enough to sustain them up until they are 6 months old - then they need the rice cereal for the iron.
we started our son at 5 months too as he was showing all the signs taht he was ready. we started him out on one tablespoon and it has recently graduated to two tblspoon (three weeks later). i give him three meals a day with a variety of fruit and vege that is easy to digest ie pears, apples, sweet potatoe carrots, zuccini etc. for me i make sure that i give him his milk first so that he is getting the most important bits then an hour or more later i give him some pureed food. i think you can give them rice cereal for some months yet.
