    We started ours on rice cereal at about 5 1/2 months.......our Pediatrician advised us to wait until 5 months......I know most people will start them on rice cereal between 4-6 months.

    Around 5mo.  I was feeling a lot of pressure from his daycare provider though, so I gave in.  Turned out that it worked out well for him, but I still sort of kick myself for not being stronger and holding my ground.

    Our pedi said we could start at 4 months. We started last week at 5 months, although we went straight to oatmeal ceral, not rice. We quickly started purees, well squash anyway, and he eats it all like a champ. He was definitely ready.

    DD we started rice cereal around 4.5 months, but didnt start purees until almost 6 months b/c she didn't seem as ready and willing to eat them.

    We started both kids a week shy of 6 months with avocado, then banana, then squash. We add in oatmeal after a couple of weeks as a breakfast food. We didn't do rice either time.

    We started at 4ish months I think. DD had really bad acid reflux and was on medication for it. So, we added a little to her bottles and it helped tremendously. 

    **disclaimer** we added it based on a recommendation and information provided by our pedi.

    We tried to start around 4.5 months based on a recommendation from DD's pedi because she had slight reflux. She hated it. We waited until 5 months, then tried oatmeal, she loved it and we moved onto other purees from there.

    Jakob started rice cereal at 4 months.  He loved it and we moved right on to veggies and fruits.

    Layna tried it at 4 months and hated it.  Tried again at 5 months, still hated it.  Tried veggies and fruits, she wasn't much interested.  Gave up and 7 months and just gave her finger foods.
