LO not jazzed about cereal

He has zero problem sitting up and eating it. He just doesnt seem to enjoy it. He seems annoyed that it isnt a bottle. Ive tried squeezing various fruits into it so it tastes better and he didnt seem any more interested. Its been a few days since he's had it and he is still sleeping much better than he was and he isnt wanting any more bottles than usual. (he takes 4-6 ounces every few hours) 

Should I just stop and wait til the 5mo mark when I wanted to start him on "real" solids?

If he isn't interested, I wouldn't be giving him solids yet.

My daughter hates cereal (consistency issue I think) but loves fruit and veggie purees. Maybe just skip the cereal and try some purees?

This exactly. You don't have to worry about the iron until 6 months, so rice cereal is not really even necessary. It's hard to digest, tasteless, and has no nutritional value. I just give DS a variety of veggies and fruit and he loves it.

My DS does not seem too into cereal either.  I will probably just wait and try again in a few weeks.
