Termonology question: When they talk about "solid foods," are they talking about just the jarred stuff, or is rice cereal included in that category?

Yes rice cereal is considered to be a solid food for babies. Usually when your pediatrician says that you can start your baby on solid food they mean the cereals rice and oatmeal. You always want to start with the rice cereal because it is the least likely one for the baby to have an allergic reaction to. The only bad thing is that it is the most constipating so just watch to make sure that your baby has bowel movements.

Rice Cereal is part of the solid food group, although when you first start feeding it, it should be quite runny. Good Luck!

anything other than breastmilk or formula is considered solid food.
Below are some links on baby lead weaning--which is letting baby decided when to start solids, skipping baby food and going straight to table food. Baby must be 6 months old for solid food.
