(experienced Parents) When Did You Start Your Child On Solid Baby Foods?

29 November 2009

My daughter is 4 months (5-June 27th) and my pediatrician told me that I can stat baby foods between now and 6 months. I have been feeding her rice since she was 3 months, and that has been going very well. I only feed her at night between 6-8pm.
How soon should I start baby food?
Should I first mix it with the rice?
How many times a day should I feed her baby food? Because I only give her rice once a day. Should I do it more than once?
Do i continue rice when I start baby food?
Thanks for all suggestions and advise!

I just want to know if its bad for my baby to skip rice cereal altogether and go straight to stage 1 baby foods?
