Guest guest Posted January 30, 2001 Report Share Posted January 30, 2001 I would like some advice from you experienced mamas about when to start my dd on solid foods. She is 4 months old weighs 13lbs. and is 25-1/2 inches long. The pedi said I could start her on cereal any time. I of course want to hold off on that as long as possible. I read somewhere that you should wait until the baby is at least 13lbs. and twice his/her birthweight. Well dd was 9lbs. at birth. Do I need to wait until she is 18lbs? The pedi also said that she is height-wise the size of a 6 month old and therefore her body needs more than just breastmilk. I don't know what to do?! Thanks for your help.
