Another Question - When did everyone start introducing different foods into your baby's diet....
This may have been done before - so im sorry if its a repeat thread...but what to know When did you start introducing foods into your baby's diet - how old was your baby? and what foods did you introduce?
My doctor also wants to start my DD on cereal at 6 months - i think thats way too long!
Im thinking of starting alittle bit of cereal at 3 months or so - just to get DD familar with the texture in her mouth and spoonfeeding her....
Im just curious when did you start?
TIA

DD started cereal at 4 months, fruits (slowly) at around 4.5, and veggies at around 5.
When you introduce something new, do it for about 3 days to rule out any reactions. Then you can go to something else.
HTH! :)

Our PED said okay to cereal at 4 months of age, Veggies at 5 months of age and then Fruits at 6 months. Introducing each one at a time, week by week. This is to check for allergies.

We started cereal at 4 mos and fruit at 5mos. We go for his 6 month check up next week, so I assume the ped will give us the go ahead to start veggies then.

When you all mean you started cereal do mean in the formula or by itself?

I mix my cereal with formula- however its always in a bowl and served with a spoon...
I believe- its encouraged to do it this way unless of course your child has AR- and you are using cereal to thicken the formula-so your child keeps it down...

Re: Another Question - When did everyone start introducing different foods into your baby's diet....
we were told cereal at 4 months....we started a few days before her 4 month b-day. Just got clearance for fruits and veggies...
1 new one every 3-4 days. Cereal 2x a day (she likes to eat).
Veggies: start with orange/yellow
bananas may constipate whereas pears and applesauce may cause runny poop

We give him about 5 tablespoons of formula with 3 tablespoons of cereal. However, when we first started cereal, we made it very watery,like soup. One tablespoon of cereal with 4 tablespoons of formula.
