we've introduced rice cereal...what's next?  other cereals or actual baby foods?  if baby food, are there certain fruits or veggies to do before others?  TIA

    We did cereal then orange veggies (sweet potatoes, squash, carrots). I was going to do green veggies next but think I may do a fruit. Pedi recommended veggies before fruit so they don't get used to the sweet fruit first. Make sure you try each for 3-4 days before introducing another in case they react to one. I sometimes mix cereal with the pur?e but will probably do that more frequently when we move to 2 solids meals.

    You can still do rice cereal. We gave him a little bit of rice cereal for reflux early on but we really dont give it to him anymore unless we can not satisfy him with his final bottle of the night. It gets to a point where he want more than 8 oz and the pedi did not want us to give him more than 6.

    So, giving rice cereal after you start other solids is completly up to you. If you LO enjoys it than why not.

    There are first stage foods to try. Just google it and you will be able to find a list I am sure.

    It's pretty much a take your pick kind of thing. Some people suggest doing some before others because of a lower allergy risk, but unless food allergies run in your family there's no particular order you have to do fruits and veggies. Just make sure you wait a few days before introducing another to watch for reactions and you'll be a-ok. About the cereal, personally we decided to continue cereal while introducing other foods. Ronan now gets oatmeal in the morning (we skipped over the rice, personal preference thing) which is sometimes mixed with some sort of fruit like peaches, apples or bananas, and some sort of veggie at night, his favorite is carrots so far. If my memory is working at full capacity, so far hes had peaches, apples, bananas, squash, peas, green beans, and carrots in no particular order. Tomorrow we're trying him on sweet potatoes, after that, well I dunno after that, it depends on what sounds good at the time.
