4 mo solids?

How many of you started solids at 4 mo? I have a big boy and have done cereal for 2 weeks. I know food is more for practice right now. Ds hasn't quite grasped the spoon concept yet. Dr wants him to start yellow fruit first so we did banana and bm ... I think he liked it more than the cereal .... Just curious how many of you started at 4 mo and what was your schedule ?

    We've started. C doesn't like rice cereal so we only tried that in very small amounts a few times. I've been trying to space it out a lot, but when we eat dinner she cries and makes her eating face (smacks her lips together). So I usually end up giving her something. Last night it was peas but she has had carrots and peaches already. Our pedi said to give her as much as she wants as long as she is still taking the bottle fine. I was really hesitant because I didn't think C was ready, but it has been going great!

    We're waiting for now... DD is so tiny, she doesn't seem near ready yet!  It'll probably be 6 months at a minimum unless it is recommended by the dietician before then to try to get her weight up...(the nurse wanted to consult with her since DD is 2-3 percentile) But I really hope that doesn't happen.  She's already doubled her birth weight and is meeting all milestones. She's just tiny.

    Our pedi said 6 months for fruits and veggies, and we can start cereal whenever we want. I am planning on BLW so probably won't start anything till 6 months. Although DD is really interested in food, it almost feels mean to eat in front of her! And if this 4 month wakeful or whatever doesn't end soon, I am almost tempted to do cereal before bed to see if it helps her sleep!
    Due 3.27.14 (lame because I cannot figure out how to save a fun ticker.....)

    I just started my LO today and he is 4 mos.  The ped said that since he eats so much he is ready.  I only gave him baby oatmeal at his dinner after his bottle.  I plan to do cereal 2x, am and pm.  I'll do this for 2 wks and then move on to veggies.  Ped told me to start with orange and yellow veggies.

    We started at 4 months with rice cereal. We would mix about 2 oz of formula with it, starting off soupy and adding a little more cereal each day until we got to oatmeal type texture and he would have it for his second feeding of the day followed immediately with a bottle and repeat that right before bed. We did this for a week or so but he started getting so bound up that we stopped giving him it every day and switched to 2x a day every other or every 3rd day and that was gentler on his stomach.

    We started on fruit over the weekend and have stuck with the original 2x/day morning and evening schedule because he seems to be having a better time processing the fruits than he did the cereal. He is a real pro at spoon feeding so it is super fun I think.

    fruita much better
