Is it ok to give rice cereal early in the morning?
At like 6-7ish?
Should it be cereal first and then milk? or vice versa? I forgot to ask the doctor.

I would think it's the other way around that way it washes the cereal down.

Well, if that is the way you think then try it.

My ped said to give her the cereal first, but I didn't do it for the first bottle of the day, I waited for the second. No real reason why except that I was too groggy for the first one to deal with the measuring and mixing.

I do it the other way so I make sure she gets enough BM. She is not hungry after her cereal. But do what you feel is best for your child.

Should I just ask the ped?

You should always ask your ped first if you are in doubt.
But I was told BM/formula first at this age, then cereal til they are full. If they fill up on the cereal first, then they will not want as much BM/formula and right now that is where they are getting the nutrients from.
In a few months it will start to be the other way around, more food less liquid nutrition.
I don't think it needs to be "washed down"  it should be pretty loose and liquidy anyway in the beginning.
good luck
ETS: if this is the first time your baby is having cereal morning is the best time to have it so you have the whole day to see if there is a reaction to the new food.

Completely agree-this is what we did.
