Since Seth is struggling with eating (nursing or bottles) his weight is low--currently he is only in the 10th percentile for boys his age. His doctor recommended us starting him on rice cereal early, although some folks start rice cereal this early just because they want to. We really don't prefer to start solids this early, but hey, our kiddo needs the calories and we really just want him to eat- however he gets it. He's done pretty well with the cereal. He's learning and eating it up. Next week our doctor will probably want us to go ahead and start sweet potatoes and other fruits and veggies. This seems so early to me but we're going with it! Here's a couple of pictures from his first attempt with rice cereal!
