so lets talk rice cereal/baby food
So DS had his 3 month appt today and the Dr. said we can start him on rice cereal if we wanted. He said 1-2 tsp 2x a day.
My question is: how long did you give your DC rice cereal before moving onto fruits (baby food of course LOL). My doctor also said to try each baby food item/fruit for 3-4 days to make sure he doesn't have a reaction and then move onto another one if all goes well. SO should i do the rice cereal for a couple days? or do you do rice cereal for a while (couple weeks/month) and then move on. Sorry if i seem naive, but i am confused by this whole food thing as the Dr. didnt really go into detail/explain much.
Also, after introducing a food, do you go back and give him it a couple weeks later, or just introducing new ones to increase the variety
TIA!

Re: so lets talk rice cereal/baby food
I think you can do it whatever way you choose. I started with oatmeal and stuck with it. I did try all of them, but DS did not like anything but Earths best Oatmeal. There is no real rush since they have to eat it for a year anyway.
I started cereal for about two weeks, then went on to stage one veggies & fruits, in no order. I tried each item for two days & moved to the next.

Re: so lets talk rice cereal/baby food
since you are starting on the early end of the spectrum (I did too) I would go slow. I just gave rice for the first week - then oatmeal for a week and then barley.
I waited until the next appointment to start veggies (I went through all the stage 1 veggies before starting fruits)

Re: so lets talk rice cereal/baby food
also, are you giving the food before or after the bottle (and how long before/after too-e.g 1 hour before the bottle, etc.)
