My pediatrician hasnt mentioned anything. I think we will wait awhile as well. Maddie still doesn't drink 4oz in one sitting everytime she gets feed. Good luck with the cereal though.

My kids didn't want anything to do with solids until 9-10 months and then it was pretty much soft foods they could pick up on their own. I think cereal is a nutrition-less waste of time (and a mess too).

I'll wait till closer to 6 months to try out other foods...I dont like to mess with their digestive systems. Both of my older boys had food sensitivites...diarrhea and rashes, and they werent too interested in eating. My mom and MIL are anxious to be able to feed Josiah though, so they my "push" me into trying stuff sooner (push in a nice way I like my MIL and mom). My nieces and nephews have food allergies/sensitivities and my boys seemed to have fruit sugar sensitivities, so they'll understand if I wait - I hope! OH - rice cereal was very hard on my first son...I totally skipped it with my second (it made him gassy/constipated). We didnt really do the cereal at all....well, we didnt really do baby food either, LOL, just waited till they could actually eat food

i just realized Nathan and Katie are only a day apart and it just shows how different each baby is. She hardly drinks more than 2oz every 2 1/2 -3 hours

We will wait until 4-6 months. I think it really depends on the baby... DS was watching us eat and crying... he was ready but Mia may not be and we don't want to push her

Funny how that it, with DD2, she practically went to finger foods as well. I had a box of cereal which we never finished, I don't even think we got half way through it. Yet DD1, who we started early at 4 months 1 week old went through boxes and boxes of cereal. At 14 months she was still eating baby food (pureed pears) for breakfast LOL.

we tried connor on cereal at 5 months but he really didn't start eating it until 6 months. like others said, it was fun at first but then it became a pain. sarah is barely getting in 20-22 ounces a day so she's nowhere close to ready.

anj, connor will still eat the pureed stuff to this day. sometimes he'll refuse to eat regular green beans, we hand him a jar of baby green beans and he'll go to town. occasionally we'll give him one of the stage 3 dinners if he can't/won't eat what we're having. why not?
