...and what did you start with?

I started with rice cereal around 4 months. We have also worked our way through peas, sweet potatoes, green beans (not a favorite), and we are starting oatmeal tomorrow.

I am slowly working our way through all the veggies, then we will do avocado, bananas, and apples, etc.

I refuse to do meat purees as I think they are gross. We will be adding beans and meat when she is closer to a year old.

We have played with cereal starting at 4 months 1.5 weeks

I did 3 days of rice cereal but noticed that he wasn't pooping regularly, therefore wasn't eating normally, and was waking up more to eat at night than he had before, so we stopped rice (the pedi said it may bind him up)

We did day 2 of oatmeal today, and so far so good

We started with rice cereal but he didn't care for it so we did oatmeal which he loves. We then did pears and prunes due to constipation (mixed with oatmeal) and last night we did peas. We mix the rice cereal in with veggies and the oatmeal in with fruits. We will probably alternate the introduction of fruits and veggies to give some variety.

we started rice cereal around 3 months per our pedi. I have just recently started putting a little bit of applesauce in it for her.

We started rice cereal 3 days ago. DD loves it! Her doctor suggested starting veggies, along with rice, after a week of eating rice well. It's so much fun watching her eat!

we started cereal at 4 months with ok from pedi (wants us to cut back on the amount of formula...) and we have tried both rice and oatmeal twice a day, and introduce a different stage 1 fruit or veggie every few days along with it. He loves loves loves pears and carrots...and probably gonna get some prunes soon to help with constipation.

We started rice cereal yesterday, at 4 months 6 days. Just training him to eat from a spoon right now. By the way he is doing great. Then we will do orange veggie, then green veggies, then fruits.
