Oh well good to know. I guess I've never heard of that before since our son started with solids at 6 months and started with rice cereal. The things you learn after becoming a Mom :) Our son really liked Earth's Best rice cereal. Good luck!

nope you dont have to start with cereal i was told that its only recommended to do it that way if youstart solids before 6 months because it is thinner than purees but if you do it at or after 6 months their system is ok to handle thicker purees. i also just spoke to my doctor about it today and he said it was fine to do it that way but that i should introduce cereal now so that i can feed her cereal in the morning and veg for dinner im going to read about the diff cereals i was just wondering if anyone really liked using a certain one or if anyone has had a bad experience with any. thanks for all your input so far ladies :)
and no i will never put cereal in her bottles i read that you are nver supposed to do that. im shocked withthe amount of people who still do.

You started with veggies before cereal? I've always been told it should be done the other way around. Our son really enjoyed oatmeal at 7 months old.

P.S. Please don't put cereal in your babies bottle!

its really only recommended to start with rice cereal if it is the babies first food. since you've already started veggies, you can give any kind of cereal a try. my little guy loves the gerber organic oatmeal.

my baby is 5 months and he has had about every fruit, veggie there is and on cereal, like 2-3 bottles a day with 1 scoop of cereal the doc said, depends on your babys weight.... he is on the gerber rice cereal. you start with rice first bc it is finer.

It's my understanding that you should always start with rice cereal....it's easy on their lil' tummies and the one they're least likely to develop an allergy to! I made my own baby food for the most part but I have tried the Nestle brand cereals.....Roxanne loved them!
