Many parents say that their own pediatricians or their friends’ pediatricians have said that it’s fine to start solids (typically cereal) at 4 months of age. It is still common for pediatricians to just say “start solid foods when your baby is 4 months old” because this has been the norm for many years.
Studies show that babies are highly individual in developing a readiness for solid foods. One baby might seem to be ready for solids at 4 months, while another shows no signs of readiness until around 6 or 7 months. Just because your friend’s baby may have began eating solid foods at 3 or 4 months of age does not mean that your baby should.
rice cereal is as a near perfect first food because you could mix flakes with breast milk or formula to a really nice, liquid-like consistency. However, with new information out this past year about arsenic levels in rice cereal, it’s now recommended we only feed babies rice once weekly. So start with a cereal, a fruit, or a veggie as a first food. Introduce the same food daily for a day or two. Give your baby a chance to explore the new texture and flavor. Then 3 days later, add on another new food.
