This post is very old so obviously your little guy is much older now but I felt compelled to reply to this. My daughter is 4 months old and I started putting rice cereal in her nighttime bottles at 2 months old to keep her full longer so she would sleep longer through the night. At 3 months I started spoon feeding cereal and she caught on to eating off a spoon very quick. I got a lot of people telling me that she was too young to be doing that but you know what, she was having healthy bowel movements and as long as she was having bowel movements she sould get cereal. She turned 4 months yesterday and I started baby food in the evening with a 4 oz bottle and she gets the cereal around lunch time wtih a 4 oz bottle. This is also my first child. Every Mom and baby is different so you have to do what is comfortable for you and the baby.View Thread
