Adding single grain cereal (or anything other than BM or formula) to your child’s diet, how old were you’re babies, how/what did you start with and what behaviors did you take as signs of readiness?

My kids were 4 months old
Raised 4.4 to 6 months for all of them…nursing made it easy to tell all of a sudden feedings were taking hours then they fussed soon after.
I did it right away once I saw they could sit up with out my support.
6 months. Didn’t do cereal as it’s useless. Waited until it’s recommended to start any solids.

4-6 mths I gave cereal when formula just didn’t seem like enough to fill them up .
I normally just waited for the doctor to tell me the baby can start food. Each child is different it’s normally close to 6 months.
6 months of age with all signs of readiness like sitting up by themselves , pincher grasp ect. No sooner then 6 months , their guts are not fully developed yet and they are just not ready. Any doctor that tells you you can before 6 months is giving false information. Cereal has no nutritional value , the only purpose people give it to their babies is to make them feel fuller for longer which is insane.

6 months old. Any sooner and more than likely you’ll be dealing with a fussy constipated baby at 4 months the baby’s stomach is just not ready for it.IDCISWIS.

6 month’s plus all signs of readiness. Better to wait then deal with the problems from feeding to early. BLW was amazing and cereal is crap skip it all together.
