Q for BFing/pumping moms who "delayed" cereals
DS is 4 months. Still on BM. He was such a gassy baby (and now so much better) that I am really trying to postpone cereals.
If you tried to "delay" cereals, at what age did you start?
I am thinking closer to 6 months. Am I pushing it out too far?
TIA

I did not delay BUT...the trend is to wait till 6 months , so thats NOT too late. I have read not to start later then that to avoid swallowing problems but 6 months is a good time.

We decided to delay cereal until 6 months because DS seems to be doing well and still only eats about 5-6oz per feeding. We asked the pediatrician if it was necessary and he said no so we are going to wait.

I waited until 5 1/2 months. My Dr. said it was fine to try anytime between 4-6 months.
