BF mom's...starting cereal?

Amy&Andy · June 2010

When are you planning too and why? My LO is a big boy and for the last few weeks or so he's been wanting to eat more often, but not wanting more per feeding, if that makes sense. He's been waking up more at night too lately to eat, and I'm wondering if he would be a little more satisfied if we started giving him a tiny bit of cereal in the evenings? I've been having a lot of people telling me to try it, but I'm scared. LOL!

AAP says 6 months

i'd wait. he might be going thru a growth spurt, just nurse him when he cues you. thought the aap says to start solids at 6 mos, many start between 4-6 mos it seems. there are signs when your lo is ready for solids - they can sit up, appear interested in your food, etc. /1ht.
