I did a lot of research before offering rice cereal! Some lactation consultants in a breastfeeding group I'm in said to skip it all together, but I did some research and pediatricians recommend it because it gives breastfed babies iron that they need and other vitamins.
Our pediatrician said we could start last month but I waited because their digestive systems aren't fully formed at 4 months and solids too soon can cause digestive issues in the future, asthma, and allergies!
Nora loved it at first! She kept trying to lick the spoon. By the end she either got full or started not liking it lol she ended up eating half a tbsp of the rice cereal mixed with 2 tbsp milk but didn't finish the whole thing :)
