How many times a day should your baby eat solids?
In the US, it is recommended babies start solids “around six months”. Some medical providers will okay starting early if the baby has hit all developmental milestones. If starting before 6 months, I recommend starting very slow. If babies take food like champs starting very early, they may be missing out on key nutrients from formula or breastmilk because they are filling up on solids.

You CAN start with baby cereal!
How to mix baby cereal. Start with a small amount of cereal - 1-2 tbsp and mix with breastmilk, formula or water until you reach the desired consistency.

You don’t HAVE to give it as a first food, BUT it’s bland and an easy transition when starting food.
