I heard an older guy in a kids resale store this morning telling a mom to add rice cereal to her daughter's bottle to help her gain weight at 3 1/2 months.

I definitely felt from friends and family that I HAD to start food at 6 months. I think a lot of people want babies to grow up so much quicker than they need to. Glad you're waiting a little longer with your 'early bird' Ruthie. :D Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15680638672506106426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620295769996023315.post-4293411769145352772013-04-13T07:04:19.381-07:002013-04-13T07:04:19.381-07:00I started rice cereal around 6 months with George....I started rice cereal around 6 months with George... but I still mostly (almost exclusively) breastfed until he was 1! I didn't know anything about the whole weaning process and it was easier to just nurse!<br /><br />With Ruthie, the doctor gave us the green light for cereal... she is 7 months now, but she was 2 months early, so I am waiting until she is 8 months to start. I will definitely follow more of a schedule with her. The pediatrician (different than the one I had when G was a baby) gave me a great schedule to go by.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024490365332800097noreply@blogger.com
