I started my daughter on baby food when she was 4mos old.  She's now 5 months and loves the carrots, bananas, and green beans.  She doesn't, however, like the cereal very much.  She still has her usually 28-30oz of formula.  I tried mixing the cereal with the baby food but she only likes it when the baby food is not mixed.  What is eveyone else do about baby food?  Did I start too soon??? She just laughs and smiles when I feed her and the doc doesn't seem to have much of an opinion either way.  Any advice or should I just do what I'm doing?

Hi there,

My daughter is 4 months old as well and she loves her solid food time. In the beginning I thought she ws going to have a hard time adjusting since she has been used to drinking milk but she learned very fast. I think you should be patient with her and try it over and over. SHe will come around, and once she is used to it she should love it. And no i don't think you started early. Back in the day they used to start when the babys were around 3-3.5 months old.

avatar i started my 6 month old about the same time. it's not too early.  I wait a day after giving him new foods to watch for allergic reactions or the runs.  as far as cereal he's been taking that for awhile he doesn't like the straight cereal but he likes cereal with apples however you have to watch how much you feed them because apples cause the runs too.  also you could mix like a teaspoon of cereal in with like a 4 oz bottle and it helps them not spit up so much and lasts a bit longer in their tummys.
