Mamas what are your opinions on introducing oatmeal/rice? Pedi says it's needed for iron at 4 months but I was kind of hoping to exclusively breastfeed for 6 months before introducing anything. At the same time, if rice/oatmeal is needed for iron at 4 months I have no problem introducing it.

Rice has no nutritional value and can cause constipation, I just got straight to food at 6-8 months. I start with avocado. If you're giving baby vitamins don't worry about iron

Hmmmm?...
My son is exclusively breastfed and ddnt have oatmeal until 6 months. His pediatrician gave us the Ok at 5.5. My thinking is that as long as you are taking your prenatals and baby is gaining weight, meeting developmental milestones AND not having a problem eating then your good. But tell your pediatrician how you feel. If you do end giving cereal, heres a great idea. I use farina or rolled oats as an alternative to baby cereal. It tastes so much better.

I skipped oatmeal, my daughters first food was avocado sje loved it and it's super healthy for them, unfortunately my daycare did oatmeal for about 2 weeks now she dropped it so we don't use it at all.
