Question about eating rice cereal?

How long does it take for the baby to get swallowing it? I'm on day 3 on 1 tablespoon watered down mix and he's not finishing it and spits it out.

    It can take some time. We started solids at 6.5m (did purees first). One of my boys took to them right away but the other hated solids for about the first 3-4 weeks so we had to take it slowly with him. Does your LO still have the tongue-thrust reflex? If so, you might want to hold off for now and try again in a few weeks. Also, when you say watered down, are you mixing it with water or with breastmilk or formula? If water, I would try using breastmilk or formula instead.

    It took ours about a week to get it down but they still let it run all under their chin.

    I would wait a few weeks and try again.  And honestly, we never did plain rice cereal.  It can cause constipation and doesn't offer much nutritionally.  We started with bananas and avocados.
