How old does a baby have to be before it can eat rice cereal...?

Question

its baby food! no dumb comments about babies not being able to eat cereal! (glare)

Answer 1

Try when he/she is around 6 months maybe sooner it depends on what you want to do. I started mine around 4 months.It helps them learn quicker too chew foods or it did my little one.Like I said it depends on you.Plus if he/she gets eating that real good then you can start on baby foods quicker too. Oh forgot while preparing the cereal make sure at first it needs to be slimmy like..that way its not so tough and when he gets used to that 1 step at a time get a little bit thicker with the cereal. I hoped I helped you.Think of anything else or have problem or don't understand something give me a yell..

Answer 2

4 months old,you could even start earlier if you would like.A small amount in their bottle at 3 months.

Answer 3

Experts currently recommend 6 months which is when I started my daughter.

Answer 4

4 to 6 months, parent's preference on when to start but Dr's say to try to wait closer to the 6 months mark.  

Answer 5

Confirm with your pediatrician ALWAYS, but mine said it was ok to dilute the heck out of it and go ahead and put some in my babies bottle when he was about 21/2 months old.  We did this because he wasn't gaining enough weight from breast milk or formula alone.  

Answer 6

I think the current guideline is a minimum of four months, but six is better (for the intestinal tract and the immune system).

Answer 7

I gave it to my son at 4 months but I wish I had waited until at least 5 1/2 to 6 months.
