What cereal did you start with LO

I know this has prob. been asked a million times but I looked for it and couldn't find it.  What cereal did you start with your LO and how old was he/she?  I don't remember what I did when Bailey was this age and I will ask my pedi, but Kate's appt. isn't until next Friday.  She is eating a lot and always seems so hungry now.  I can't seem to fulfill her and am starting to have to supplement with formula and she HATES it.  I am having to feed her 4-5 times during the night still and it is killing me slowly since I am doing this alone so I never sleep.  Anyways, just curious, TIA.

    We tried beechnut rice cereal but he didn't like it (probably bc we thicken his milk with it.)  so, we tried baby oatmeal.  he loved it and then we started adding veggies and fruits to it.  we started this all about 2 weeks ago.  it took him a few days to catch on.  :)

    The new reccomendations are between 4 & 6 months depending on your pedi. I think rice is the typical one to start with . We just started this week at 5 months with rice. Our pedi does not want fruits or veggies started until 6 months. We plan on working thru the oatmeal and barley in the next 3 weeks, introducing one a week and then mixing etc.

    We just used Heinz because they make it here and I got two cases (so 10 bags) for $5.

    It sounds like your LO may be starting to need more. L hates formula too and we have been dealing with similar problems, he has been nursing 10-12 times in 24 hrs lately.

    Everything I have read and been told has said that they get all of their nutrition from breast milk or formula until they're 1 year. The only reason you introduce solids is so they will get used to eating them. A lot of people confuse a 4 month growth spurt with being hungry and wanting solids when they just want to eat more BM or formula.
