Sort of an xp: What are your 5 mos olds eating?

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

I know there are alot of underage babies here (ahem...like mine), but I've noticed that many are getting veggies before 6 mos.  Our pedi recommended just rice cereal until 6 mos., so that's all I've been doing once per day.  Is my pedi old school? 


What did your docs recommend?  For the record, DD is a peanut (12.5 lbs at 5 mos., so that may be a recommendation just for her?)

    At 4.5 months his Dr said we could start oatmeal/rice cereal.  I don't quite remember but I'm pretty sure she said we could move to veggies/fruit once he could eat 8 tablespoons of cereal a day.  After about 2 weeks we started giving him fruits and veggies.  Right now he gets half a jar of food and 3 tablespoons of cereal twice a day.  I also have a peanut (not quite as small as yours), but as of last week he was 14lbs 11oz and 26 in.

    Has Noelle doubled her birth weight yet?  I don't know about all pedis, but mine said that was important before starting solids.  Also, Maddie was basically lunging for my food and drooling everytime she watched me eat.  Based on all of those factors it was reccomended we start solids other than just cereal.

    We did cereal for a week...she took to the spoon just fine but always got seriously mad that I was giving her what she thought belonged in a bottle on a spoon.  Veggies and fruits have gone over much better.
