We started oatmeal at 4 months, but now they say 6m for food. He was already 16.5lbs, eating 8oz bottles and trying to grab our food, though, so we figured he was ready.

6 months

@jhndms, not at all! I did my research heavily and I found that the first month to use rice so it could absorb all the stomach acids then after a month use oatmeal because rice in general has arsenic and isn't good for baby in the long run oatmeal is a lot healthier and tastier! But it's usually best to only put a tsp because too much will make it super difficult for them to drink it plus it's a choking hazard. If u put too much it could cause constipation. It's up to you, u know ur child the best so you'll know what to do ;)

@jhndms, Yes ma’am they do! 😊

@theinkedmommy do they sell baby oatmeal?

@caseysmommy92 same with my first!

@taylormightknow really! No constipation? That's the only thing im worried about.

I use earths best or Gerber but I like eb better

6 months is the perfect age. I waited way to long not knowing abd now my son is extremely picky eater

I know ur supposed to start solids at 4-6 months but I'm a rule breaker and gave my daughter 1tsp rice cereal in her bottle from 2-3 months and now I give her 1tsp oatmeal cereal in her bottle she's doing great she turns 4 months on xmas eve and she's already drinking 6oz every 4 hours which is exactly where it is going to stay for a long time lol

I suggest oatmeal, instead of rice cereal.

6 months. 😊
