| I think it was way too early with Jack, he was about 3-4 months. WIth L I waited until 5 months I am sure, hard to remember. Jack was both BF and formula, Laila was mostly BF |

| back in the day it was 4 months. Now our Ped is recommending that you wait until at least 6 months before starting solids. |

| Jacob was 4mos and he did ok. James was 6mos and he did not do well and still has serious food sensitivity etc. Jade went from breast to food at 13mos. K started rice cereal at about 10mos-1yr. |

| Kylie tried it at 6 months, hated it so we nixed it and didn't get people food really until a year. Megan never got cereal, too many health issues. I can't remember if you did/do or not, but if Jenna has any allergies (food and non-food) of sorts, I'd totally stay away from it with Breanna. JMO, though. |

| 4months for both of mine.. if we could have waited with Autumn we would have but with her weight issues we had to get some more nutrition in her |
