I know it sounds early.
I think it myself.
..but my daughter drinks well ver 30 35 oz a day shes had cerel in her bottles...no doing that right now though
But we just recently saw her ped and e suggested if I wanted to try her on cereal but the spoon and slowly move to veggies and fruits ...it was okay if I flt comfortable and of course if y daughter would take.
Whats your take on this guys?

I think 4 months is fine. I started my daughter on cereal at 4 months. She is now almost 6 months and eats a variety of things. If your daughter shows interest in what you eat, she is probably ready. Try feeding with a spoon. She will let you know when she's had enough. My daughter will clinch her lips shut and turn her head away. Good luck.

I started feeding my son 'solids' at 3.5-4 months. I didn't start with cereal though. The first thing other than breastmilk or formula that he had to eat was veggies, and then fruit when a second meal needed to be introduced. Although the cereal 'these days' is more healthy than it once was, the fact remains it's not natural food. To each their own, but i believe that it was the right choice. He's now 10 months old and hes a wonderfully busy, healthy boy.
