My baby was really hungry at 6 weeks she wanted more my doctor told me to give her rice cereal and by two mos he said I can start on #1 foods but start with yellow foods and start with the veggies. He told me any baby will eat fruit. and for allergies if it runs in the family they say not to start any foods just milk till they are 4 to 6mos of age.

Stage One Baby Food

Rice cereal and stage one baby food at SIX MONTHS....anything before could cause type 1 diabetes, intestinal or colon problems. Babies, before age six months, can't easily digest food. Your baby may not get full off of formula; however, at three months they eat every two to three hours. That's just the way that it is!

I started my baby on rice cereal at 12 weeks and stage 1 baby food at 4 mths. It depends on the child.

I started my children on cereal at 4 months and once I found out they were ready to eat, I slowly added veggies, fruit, and meats. I believe that before 4 months they are not ready to eat off a spoon although you could feed them cereal using an infant feeder.

You are not to give food until 4-6 months old. Their little systems are not able to digest anything else at this point. He is probably having a growth spurt and needs more formula. Talk to your pediatrician when in doubt.

6 months.
The AAP says NOTHING but breastmilk or formula for the first 4-6 months, preferably 6 months. Starting too early puts your child at risk for allergies, asthma, diabetes and obesity.

one of my 12 week old babies is eating thin cereal, it depends on the baby. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends waiting until 4-6 months.. really its your decision!
