I've read so many conflicting answers on this subject.
I've heard that:
You should wait for six months no matter what.
You should look for X, Y, Z signs, no matter what age.
Cereal counts as a solid.
Cereal does not count as a solid.
Cereal is a great practice food.
Cereal is pointless.
I'm so confused. With my daughter, I gave her some rice cereal at a little over 4 months, mostly from pressure from her pediatrician and also from family. She wasn't really into it so I only offered it once a week or so for the next month or two after that. She really didn't eat a ton of solids until 1.
My son is 3 months old, and I just KNOW at his 4 month check up that his ped. is going to tell me to start solids. I plan on waiting until 6 months at least. But is that right? Should I be looking for physical signs instead of watching the clock? How do I stick up for myself/my son when I meet with the bully doctor? There's no doctor to switch to, so please don't suggest that.
