What was the first food you had baby try? Did you mix it with breastmilk or formula? Did you start with rice cereal? When did you start?
DS is three months old this week so I know we are still a little ways from starting food but I wanted to start collecting information on what others have done.

We tried out food yesterday to see if it was a good time for DS. It's not quite the right time, so I'm going to hold off a little longer, but...
We started with peas mixed with breast milk. I won't be using any rice cereal at all. I think the next time we try solids it will be in at least another month.
Avocado with breast milk first. Loved it.
Sweet potato with breast milk second. Loved that too!
We started with applesauce (unsweetened) and that went over pretty well. Next we tried oatmeal which he rejected even when mixed with formula. This week we're doing avocado which is going great and he's actually swallowing about 75% of it. In a couple days I think we'll move on to banana.
