I also started my daughter early with cereal, fruits and veg she was around the 3 1/2 month mark. However it was dietitians recommendations because she wasn't putting on the pounds and needed the extra calories since she's a really active baby, but at 8 months she's still a skinny miny. lol

Also at 7 months when she had 2 teeth I started her with cheerios, toast, yogurt, mashed potatos, mushed meats and baby buscuits

my daughter was 3 motnhs when i started cereal, and it was a couple of weeks later wheni started her on stage one foods. Yeah i know Dr will tell you not till they are 6 months but my dr said it was just fine, she is four months old and has a bowl of rice cereal with mixed fruit every morning and then a bottle. at lunch and dinner time she has a veggie of some sort and then a bottle. once in a while in the afternoon she will also take a 2-4 oz bottle because she thinks that she needs to be a lil pig. we have been doing this rotuine for over a month now, and she is healthy and not over weight.

Cereal- never, there is no real need for it. Dylan started on avacado at 6 months exactly. Ava started on sweet potatoes about 7 months.
