Rice cereal
My 3 month old is 18lbs and is ebf. I was wondering about starting him on rice cereal when he is 4 months old. Before you tell me to ask my doctor he said that we will discus solids at his 4 month appointment but the public health nurses say no solids before 6 months and to get a new doctor if he tells you otherwise so I wanted some other opinions.

Op My son is just like urs. He would grab my food and look interested to eat so I tried rice cereal at 3 months and now at 4 months he is eating one new veggie each week then fruit is next. He eats a good piece of veggie purée and swallows it well. I say look at the signs and if he is ready go for it. Like they say every baby is different
Thanks for all the advice. I only thought rice cereal because the nurses said it was high in iron and a good first food. I haven't tried feeding him anything but gripe water on a spoon which he seems to sip off.
I see that no one said absolutely no so if the doctor gives me the go ahead I think I will try something
Thanks
so I will get some s*** for this but I don't care. I have feed both my babies at 6 weeks old. I gave them rice for about 3 or 4 weeks then started them on solids. like you my kids show food readiness and I don't care what others say. I have told my doctor he says he prefers not but that if its my choice then go ahead. my babies are tiny. technically there average but my doctor told me that scale also includes premies and obese children and that premies are a big factor. I use rice on my 6 week old baby and im okay with that. if you feel like YOUR baby is ready then by all means go ahead
My little boy was big for his age as well. 81/2 at birth and almost 22 pounds at four months. He had two teeth up and was sitting on his own at that age. My doctor also told me to start a four months but he had no interest. I offered once a week and he didn't want until 61/2 months. I wouldn't push it but offer. They eat when they are ready.
