When is it safe to start baby on baby food? she's almost 3mo old.

6 months is recommended due to their gut being "open" until then. I wanted to try then but I knew it wasn't time and my daughter was nowhere ready for it. She is just now getting the hang out it at almost 7 months

That's what I thought, I was just curious because I seen a few giving they're baby food at 4mo... My LO is already having rice cereal in her formula because she just eats so much and was never getting full til we started the cereal.

@eclark2696,

My doctor told me to go ahead & do it because I'm not a fan of cerial neither is he , he had told me little ones get easily constipated by it because of haveing trouble with the wheat & he felt she was ready he just had me give her gerbers one week at a time

my daughter had horrible acid reflux, I started putting a little bit of cereal into her bottle around 3 1/2 months to help her keep the formula down. but I didn't start her on baby food until 6 months, she's 8 1/2 months now and she's eating people food now.

We're starting rice cereal this weekend. She's 3 months
