Depends on what your doctor says. Every baby is different.

Not before 6 months, no solid foods. I knew of someone who started putting rice in their babyâs bottle at 3 months and if you saw that child now adult, is unbelievable obese. Has serious digestive problems etc.

All you people being rude to her should probably realize this is an extremely young mom who is very naive to all this stuff. But youâre perfect Iâm sure. 
Talk to your doctor hun. Not Facebook. All youâll get here is rude comments from perfect moms.
I ran into the same issues with my boys. My doctor told me start out once a day as a main meal(like dinner). She said to do that for about a month and then increase to 2 meals. And to only feed a tablespoon at a time.

Stop now if you baby isnât able to sit up unassisted they arenât ready for any solids
Umm never!!! Heâs too young and itâs not a food that should be introduce to baby due to allergic reactions.

Talk to your childâs pediatrician. Google and other mommyâs will say a handful of all the same things, but a doctor who is educated and personally knows your child is really the one to advise you on the appropriate steps for YOUR kid.

Well I started giving my son cereal in his bottle when he was two weeks old and heâs fine today 
⌠just make it thin not very thick a little bit but not real thick and plus just give only one oz to start then gradually give a little more each month⌠and plus give 2-4 Ozâs of formula after feeding her/him ⌠but donât overfeed âŚit will help them to sleep longer especially overnightâŚbut only give rice cereal right now when your baby turns 6 months then introduce the oatmeal cerealâŚand the jar fruitsâŚI used to mix it with the fruit once they got a little olderâŚ

Due to doctors advice my son had an oz but he was 4months and ready
Never unless it is absolutely needed for medical reasons.
Chat with your doc. When my son was 3 months we started adding cereal to his formula in the am, afternoo (lunch time) and before bed because he wasnât satisfied with just formula. His doc said it was ok. For the ppl saying never, clearly you lucked out with a perfect kid right? Pfft smh. So hateful in this group

Puree it if you plan to give it as a solid. Will be much easier on babyâs digestive system, and you can use breast milk as the liquid base, or formula if thatâs what youâre using for bottles. 3mo is typical time for jarred foods, so def go with puree form, and donât give anymore than what fills a small baby food jar.
Every child is different. If you feel that your child is not satisfied with only a bottle, then what I did was introduce one teaspoon of baby oatmeal into his bottles.

Iâm pretty sure if people used to give their kids water before 6 months and give them whiskey for coughs and teething that oatmeal wonât hurt as long as her doctors says itâs fine

Why are people always in a rush to get their babies onto food? It is dangerous to introduce food before 6 months. Their intestines arent strong enough to deal with it before then.

Damnnnn lol ive been giving all my kids gerbers since months 
I would talk to the childâs doctor before feeding such a small infant food.
I personally didnât give my baby foods until she could sit up alone cause its a choking risk. And there bodies canât handle the food yet. Thats what I was told by WIC and a doctor and a nutritionist. Talking your babys doctor would help. 
Iâd say when there hungry 
Every 30th of February!!!
What? Why? Thatâs to young.

I gave my little guy cereal at 3 months ⌠nothing wrong with him or giving your child cereal at that age ! I gave him it once a day & sometimes twice, it never helped him through the night but he was generally an awesome sleeper to start off with 
I gave it to my oldest at 4 months once a day during her dinner feeding. and she had no problem. Just use rice because itâs easier to digest. You also dont have to explain to these people why you do it or if your doctor gave you the okay. That wasnât a point of your question.
Not at all unless needed to thicken milk for medical necessity and donât use rice. It has traces of arsenic according to my daughterâs G.I specialist
In the UK midwives used to recommend a few teaspoons of baby rice at bed time to help them sleep at the age of 3 months. But they have changed the recommended age to 6 months . BUT all babies are different. Larger babies are more likely to need a couple of teaspoons at around the 3/4 month Mark. Trust your instinct and pick up on your babies cues. Us mothers are always learning something new every day. Donât let the haters get you down. Your doing great x
