When to start cereal and water

I can not remember when to start feeding baby cereal and how that all goes.  How soon can I start to give water?

    Our pediatrician had us start offering water when he cleared DS for solids at 4 months. He still doesn't like it. We put some in a sippy for when he's eating, but don't force it on him as it isn't necessary at all.

    You can start cereal anywhere between 4-6 months.  DD was a little early so we waited until she was 5 months old.  She doesn't care for it much but we offer a couple spoonfuls every night.  They can start stage 1 foods at 6 months.  Babies under a year old do not need supplemental water.  They get everything they need from their formula and BM.

    Under one year you don't have to give babies water, however (I live in FL) my pediatrician recommended on a really hot day if he is outside or sweaty that I can give him a little bit of cool water to cool him down.
