Our pedi said to wait until 6 months to introduce solids. She said unless I notice she is eating more frequently then I can give her rice cereal. I told her I wanted to skip that and start her on veggies first. She looked at me like I had 10 heads, but didn't really say no. I was fine waiting, but she is showing all the signs lately of being ready for food. Someone said the other day to watch your baby not the calendar. I just feel like she is ready. My question is would you call and ask if we can start, or just follow your mom instinct? I understand calling and asking about medications and what not, but do I need permission to start foods?

Yep!
if LO is acting ready, give it a try. if LO isn't ready they'll just spit it back out. then try again in a week or so.
always interesting to see the difference in Pedi's. our's is younger and gave the ok at 4 months to start solids as long as she was sitting up in her high chair ok. she also said we could skip ceral if we wanted to, but we have used it 2x a day during month 4 to help with the spitup issues. i stopped it a few days ago because she's having a hard time with the teething, and i started veggies at 5 months (last week) so she's getting it that way instead.
