ask your DR, mine said between 4-6 months. We started introducing rice cereal at about 4 months, but only a tsp at a time.

I knew when my child was ready by watching her reaction when she saw me eating. If I was holding her and eating something at the same time, she started reaching for it. But even before this, it seemed like she just intently watched us eat.

We started cereal at 6 months.

not until after 6 months, especially if breastfed. too many potential issues regarding allergies and other health problems if start before 6 months. i started with my daughter at 6 but she really didn't eat them alot till 9 months.
good luck. let me know if i can help at all.

How old is he? How much breastmilk/formula is he consuming? Its hard to say. My daughter wasnt "big" into the solids when she was "supposed to be". It all depends on the child. Even though my kiddo wouldnt eat baby food and took longer than most kids to eat solids, she will eat just about anything now.(shes 14 months)
My personal opinion is not to push it until they are ready. Some believe differently. I think it all depends on you as a mother and the personality of the child.
