Oatmeal and Rice Cereal

How long should LOs get cereal? I just bought some Gerber fruits that have cereal in them. I was wondering if I could give DS that instead of oatmeal.

    We've never done cereal or oatmeal, and DS is 7.5 months, started purees at 5.5 months.

    My clinic suggested iron fortified cereals for the first 18 months.  Of course, you can use other foods too.  It is just important that they have a source of iron as their iron stores from when you were pregnant are depleted by around 6 months.

    I just mix the oatmeal in fruits or veggies to thicken it.

    I mix pears in with his oatmeal. He likes it that way. So I wouldn't think there would be a problem.

    You can feed them it for a couple years.

    This. We do 2 to 4 tablespoons a day. Usually it's oatmeal or barley for breakfast mixed with a pured fruit or I have done barley and avocado then sometimes I will do rice cereal at night with a veggie, usually I once a week.
