Rice cereal mixed with a bottle is generally the first solid people give babies. You'll have to have a nipple with a larger hole in it.

Cereal in a bottle is very dangerous.

i have 3 beuitifull boys 13/6/1 i have never gone by the book only a mother nos when it is time if your baby is still hungry after a bottle i would consider giving small amounts of food all mine werte weaned before six months old cause they were greedy little buggers lol i started by giving a little baby porridge in a morning and night then developed to 3 different veg blended at dinner with a bottle or baby juice xxx

You can give Rice Cereals. I find this helps my son sleep a little better at night. He tends to sleep longer too. I also give him Different vegetables, Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Squash as well as some fruits, Apple Sauce, Peaches, Pears. They are all the class "1" baby foods. He does just fine on them!

You can give cereals also.try rice first.then you can go for oat. Try to mix any formula with it to prepare.You can also give fruits like banana,orange. Carrots,peas potatoes mashed can be given in the morning hours.
