Starting solids next week....

If the pedi gives the green light at Monday's 4month appointment, I will start rice cereal. Since DH and I both work, it would be easier to give cereal in the evening. It seems like a lot of moms on here do solids in the morning. Any reason to do morning over evening?

    i think the first few times you do any new food it should be in the am in case of reaction.  easier to see a dr.

    From what I know, they feed the solds and cereal in the morning just in case they have a reaction to something that they eat. If they do have a reaction, the parents will be awake and able to tell if they have a reaction, but if they are asleep, then the child might have the reaction and won't know it.

    I was told that if there is an allergic reaction you will be able to notice it faster in the morning. ?If they are sleeping after they eat, you may not see the reaction for 12 hours. ?We haven't started solids yet, so I am no expert.

    We haven't started solids yet, so I don't have any advice for you, but just wanted to say, that's so exciting! My pedi is also planning on starting DD on rice cereal at 4 months. Have fun!

    That makes sense. I guess the first few times DS gets cereal we will do it in the am.
