Eta: Its suggested that you hold off till 6 months+ if your baby has allergies or there is a history of allergies in the family. We didnt have any so it was a non-issue for us but I do know parents that have held off for that reason.
This is what our ped told us. With Katie's history of acid reflux, colic, lactose intollerance and other issues...he didn't want us to start yet. I'm taking her Monday to her 4 mo (well, 4.5 mo) well visit and we'll see what he says. I'm hoping to start cereal soon!
ETA: right now she has about 6 oz every 2.5-3 hours...sometimes she takes 8 oz but then spits it up - I think its too much for her.

Just advised same thing at her 4 month checkup. at 6 months we will start with cereal and veggies, then meats and fruit last we were told. Fruit being last cause every baby likes fruit over veggies and meat. Sounds true to me, I know i would rather have something sweet and yummy than peas!

Cereal at 3 months.
Fruit at 4 months
Veggies at 5 months
Meats at 6 months (and they are soooo nasty)
This is our schedule too. We're still on cereal looking forward to fruits!

She actually was eating fruit before she really took to cereal. She was a little over 5 months.

We tried cereal but she didn't like it. I had tried it in her bottle and it did nothing at all except make her spit up worse.
Our ped. had suggested pears for her because of her severe constipation so I started with that then just went from there. I never was good about following the feeding "rules"

What happened at the doctors? Are you starting cereal? Animal went yesterday for her 4 month and the ped said to wait until next month to start cereal
