How long did you do rice cereal before purees?

we've been doing rice cereal on and off for about 3 weeks now, and just the past week has he been inhaling it. he practically mauls the spoon! we were going to wait until 6 months to start purees, but now are contemplating starting it a bit early.

did you do rice cereal first for an extended period of time before purees?

    Just started rice cereal and I plan on doing it for 2 wks ish ... then trying oatmeal for probably 2 wks also, and then combining oatmeal with fruit and trying some veggies here and there.

    We did rice cereal for 4 days, and DD did so well we went ahead to purees. She's since done banana, avocado, carrot, and sweet potato. We make our own baby food and she gobbles it down! I have since mixed bananas and rice cereal, which she likes too. And we've done rice cereal with cinnamon.

    Did your dr recommend going to oatmeal after rice cereal? Not sure if i should skip over that or not.

    I started DD on rice at 3.5 mos and didnt start the purees until she hit the 4 mo. mark. I switched to oatmeal around the same time just b/c she HATED rice and the oatmeal tastes so much better.

    We started DD on rice/oatmeal cereal at 4 months. Purees at 5 months. Like your LO DD inhales her cereal. We still give her cereal for lunch, but at dinner DD gets cereal and a veggie. So far DD has tried Sweet Potatoes, Squash, Carrots, and Peas. We plan to add fruits in next week, which she will get at lunch time.

    We did it for one week exactly, then started purees just this sat. He was NOT digging the rice cereal, but seems to really enjoy the purees. :)

    We tried rice cereal for 3 weeks off and on around the 4.5 month mark. He hated rice cereal so we went straight to purees. He loves bananas and has been eating those for about a week once a day and just started sweet potatoes (doesn't seem to like them though). My plan is to try a new fruit every other week and new veg every other week until he's tried pretty much everything he can try.
