Do we have to do cereal? If so, why? If you didn't do cereal, why? Are there any benefits to giving or skipping? I am just so confused with all this solids stuff. Sorry.

Cereal is basically practice food. There is nothing they're missing nutritionally if they don't get it. That's what my Ped says anyway.
We skipped it and went right to the fruits and veggies because DS is a BIG boy and didn't need the extra calories.

We didn't really do cereal, we went to bananas and avacados.

We did cereal first - but a day or so after I added fruit to it and then vegetables.
I had to add a bit of flavor to the cereal - and DD's goobled it up real fast.
Luckily they didn't have any allergies or bad reactions to anything.

Our ped. recommended skipping grains and starting with green veggies. DS now eats everything at 10 months. She said that the Pediatric Assn. actually changed their guidelines to make grains optional. Good luck!

I didn't skip cereal altogether and just gave it to him later, but I did introduce apple as the first food besides breast milk.
