is it a must? I mean, I know you don't need to make it your first food. but do babies need the nutrients from oatmeal at this point?

    no it's the iron that's supplimented in the cereal that they benefit from. 

    just find other iron rich foods

    BM does start lacking iron around 6 months but formula is fortified so they'd get some from there too.

    I don't think it's a must - I only give DD cereal once a day...at breakfast with some pureed fruits...whatever fruit I'm trying out that week. She really enjoys it. The rest of the day she gets pureed veggies and fruits with EBM. Now she actually gets PO'd at me if she doesn't get her cereal in the mornings! LOL!

    not necessary at all.  I give her oatmeal in the mornings on weekends only, just because its a breakfast food imo
