  We started with Rice cereal and it is Gerber.  We started with very very little.  My boys had tons of tummy issues early on, so we started slow.  With like a tablespoon to start around lunch time.  To start we did it 2 hours before their lunch time bottle.  And we started around 5 months.  I went quickly to 2 tablespoons because they were doing so great.

  We were told to start with Rice.  I use Gerber.  Start in the morning/early afternoon so you can monitor them closely.  1 tbsp each to start should be enough. 

  Oh and I didn't figure this out until later, although you probably will do it already.  1 bowl, 1 spoon to feed all three.  I was dumb enough to make 2 bowls of food and 2 spoons.  It was crazy hard. 

  Good luck

  You want to start with a single grain cereal, like Gerber Rice.  Don't start with the Rice with Apple or Rice with Mixed Fruit, these are whole grain and shouldn't be started until you have given them veggies/fruits.

  My pedi told me Rice first......then you could switch to Oatmeal, etc. The Rice is the easiest he said to digest.

  Always start in the morning, in case they have a reaction. It has directions on the side of the box for 'first formula feeding'. Of course they don't like it or get it (eating off spoon) to start.  You just have to keep trying. A couple spoonfuls at each try.

  Pretty soon they will be pros   And if your little guys are anything like Cole, I can't spoon it in fast enough!
