Oatmeal, it was a big hit, he has either oatmeal or barley with a little bit of apples or bananas in it for breakfast every morning.

I tried rice cereal (earths best) the first three times. He seems to hate it. Then I tried oatmeal cereal with banana (earths best) and he liked it a little more. Then real banana and he loves it! 

The faces he makes whether he likes the food or not are priceless. Its like I but the most disgusting thing ever in his mouth.

We started with whole wheat cereal.  I wanted LO to have cereal with more nutrition in it.  At our last pedi apt. she said they usually want rice cereal for the first cereal for allergies.  Oops... Thank goodness LO doesn't show any signs of allergies so far.  And he loves whole wheat too!

We skipped cerals and went straight for Avocado with my first. I will likewise do the same with the twins.

I bought three types of cereal to try - oatmeal, barley and multi grain, if I remember correctly.  We are going to wait a little longer to start solids, though.   Pedi said we could start now, but I want to wait til he's sitting up better.

Haven't started solids, but we're skipping the cereals.  They do provide a small amount of iron, but no nutritional value other than that.

We're planning on avocado or sweet potatoes after 6mo.
