Rice Cereal
So we started Cass on rice cereal right at 5 months. In short, he still doesn't "love" it. The first few days he acted like we were feeding him poison. He is better now, but doesn't show a huge interest in it. He will eat it now without fussing too much. We are going to keep trying for another week or so, and then maybe look into oatmeal. I have read some kids don't ever like rice cereal, and oatmeal is on the lower allergenic side.
I want him to get better with this before we start veggies and fruits. We have decided to start with green veggies, then orange veggies and then fruits. We don't want him to get used to the sweet in the fruit and not like veggies. But, we need to get the hang of this cereal thing first.
For all of you out there.......did your kids like rice cereal? How long did you try it before moving onto fruits & veggies? Ever try oatmeal?

My kids both hated rice cereal. We tried and tried, and tried oatmeal too. They liked the veggies and fruits better than the cereal- but really didn't care much for baby food period. I didn't stress too much about it, they loved real food, and I figured they got plenty of good stuff from the boob! :)
Don't know if you've stopped by my blog but Meg HATES the cereal. Both rice and oat. Thick and thin. She screams when she sees the spoon coming and sticks her hand in her mouth! Then suddenly today, out of the blue, she ate it. We've been trying off and on since 4 mos. and it has been stressful but they are still getting everything they need from the milk. We're going green, orange, then fruit too around 6 mos. Can't wait for those stains! Good luck!
I have no experience, but maybe I can learn a thing or two from you and the comments you get!!
