Advice History
Starting Solid Food
My wife and I found that our children tolerated rice cereal very well. We would use it to thicken up their formula as early as 3 months. Putting a teaspoon or so into a bottle of 4 ounces filled them up well and helped them sleep and it was fairly easy to still flow through the nipple.
Later, around 6 months, we started mixing fruits and vegetables into the cereal to the consistancy of yogurt and used a plunger like feeder. Minimal mess that way.
Mashed bananas are also a great starter-solid. The sweetness and moisture makes it easier for babies to get down.
