My girls have only been doing the rice cereal once a day for a week now but dont really seem to like it and barely get a table spoon down. So I want to switch to a veggie (sweet potatoes) but have read you should stay on rice cereal for atleast 2-4 weeks?
What solids is your little one eating each day and how much of it each feeding?
Also, how long did you just do the rice cereal?

We skipped cereals too. We just went to veggies and fruits. Our ped told us that breastmilk is so sweet that babies are used to sweet things anyway.
We fed LO a new food for four days. Typically if there will be a reaction, it will happen after the second exposure, but follow your Dr. advice for your own child.
Now LO has been exposed to enough foods that we are doing mixed things, and some bland adult food.
Yesterday we were at a picnic and LO grabbed a handful of my hot dog bun right off my plate and shoved it in his mouth!
I did my breast milk with cereal. During week i do 3-4 ounces of BM with 3 tbsp of cereal in her bottle and she loves it. on weekends i do BM with cereal, but i make it thick to spoon feed her. i notice making it with water she doesnt like it as much.
I did just cereal for about a month at dr's reccommendation and now im at cereal in morning, veggie at lunch with bm bottle or water, and fruit at night with bm bottle or water. and in between times and before bed she gets bm bottles
