2nd time moms ? about feeding

in 2nd Trimester
At what age did you start introducing purees or baby cereals? I've been looking after an 8 1/2 month old, and he only takes in formula. Is this common?

    We started with rice cereal at 4.5 months.  Most people start solids between 4-6 months.

    around 5 months i started giving my son rice cereal mixed with a lot of formula.  purees and other flavors came around 7 months or so.

    We started rice cereal at 4 months and moved on to purees from there. Some people wait until 6 months to start any solids but 8.5 months seems a little strange unless he has allergies or something..

    We started cereal at about 4 months. She was eating a ton of stuff by 8 1/2 months and she was a preemie!

    We started all solids at 6 months. ?Many moms are waiting until 6 months now, but I don't know about why one would wait until after 8 months. ?Maybe mom thinks LO is not ready.

    My Pedi said 6 months for my last two children but I am not sure if it has changed.  4 months seems early!!

    That's what I am thinking, but I don't think he has allergies because she never mentioned anything.

    Around 6 months from what I can recall, though I think we started pablum sooner than that...

    We started rice cereal VERY early due to DS severe reflux.  It helped him tremendously.  Purees and jared food is usually started around 4-6 months.

    By 8 months I think Carter was eating table food! (Mashed potatoes, applesauce, etc.)

    That's odd... that baby must be starving!

    We started at 6 months per pedi's recommendation.  It seems I read that they don't really need food other than BM/Formula until a year.  Some babies probably just aren't ready.

    He's always grabbing at my food, and I want to sneak him some , but I don't want to do anything to upset his mom.

    6 months.  Is the mom afraid of food allergies?
