I started with rice, porridge, pureed fruit and veg, a few spoonfuls, a few times a day. Then gradually worked her up as her apetite was increasing. After about 2-3 weeks, I started giving her food like the meals in the jars.
Always feed from a spoon, never a bottle.

I started baby cereal at 12 weeks just a little in the bottle then began introducing a new fruit every week to make sure they could handle it. At 6 months we went to dark veggies and a little meat. Both my kids are healthy and have good appetites.

You don’t have to do rice in a bottle ever. I started at about 5.5 months. We jst cut up a banana and he went to town. He picked up the pieces. It was really fun! You can research baby led weaning and find out more info.
Answer by His Babyd♥ll
I started feeding her at 4 months old. I started out with rice cereal with some fruit or veggies to give it some flavor, twice a day. I did this for about a month to get her used to solids and the taste of each food. Then I gradually moved her to the mixed foods. She is now 8 months old and doesn’t really like pureed baby food anymore so we have moved on to table food cut in very small pieces.
I’ve only given her some cereal in a bottle once when she had gotten sick and didn’t want to eat much. Otherwise I don’t give her baby food in a bottle.
Answer by winkster520
Well, first you dont put the rice cereal in the bottle. You mix it in a bowl and spoon feed it to your child. I started rice cereal around 5 months with my son. I started giving him baby food at 5 1/2months. You dont have to do rice cereal at all if you dont want to.
Answer by detroit.mommy
No, rice in a bottle is not a good method. You need to use the spoon for the cereal. I started my son at just a tiny bit after 4 months because that’s when he was ready. I had tried earlier and he didn’t really care about it. At 4 months he was always looking at our food and trying to grab at it and making faces. I did start with rice cereal but I found out real fast that it constipated him so I went to oatmeal and man oh man did he love it! I just let it slowly progress from there.. I didn’t rush things. I started mixing in fruits and vegetables.
At around 6 months my son weaned himself off the breast and went straight for finger foods already.. so I am kind of glad I didn’t wait that long to start at first. I have to admit though that I took it very slow and didn’t have him on an eating schedule until like 5.5 months..
I put a link to a video of him eating his first solids. Check it out. I mean you can tell that he was ready.. there is no denying it!
Answer by iamhis0
We skipped rice cereal. I do not find it necessary, simply over-processed wallpaper paste, tasteless and texture-less.
We went straight to introducing foods at 6 months. We practiced baby-led weaning, so we gave large pieces of soft foods that he could handle and let him feed himself. He did not take well to solids at 6 months, just was not interested, so we waited a bit longer. We tried reintroducing at 9 months, he still was not ready. He did not take to solid foods until he was about 14-15 months old. He was simply content on Mamma’s milk.
Answer by sheloshot
Don’t do rice cereal in a bottle unless for some reason your pediatrician has advised you to. Start at about 6 months with rice cereal mixed with formula or breast milk to a thin consistency and feed with a spoon. Do this for about a week. If the baby is tolerating well, then the next week, stir in some peas. And feed like that for a week. Always do one food at a time so that you can monitor for food allergies/intolerance. I have some experience with that. ALways start with veggies, because once they have started fruit it is had to get them to go back. When you begin with solids, give food before regular bottle or breast feeding to make it more likely that they will take the food. Good luck!
Answer by Dylan’s Mommy<3 4.24.08
i’ve always put rice in dylan’s bottle because he’s an extremely pukey baby – still is at 7 months. the doctor said to start him on solids at 4 months because he jumped from the 9th percentile to the 60th. I tried it, but he didn’t digest it very well, so i held off. for a couple weeks and tried again. He now eats like a pro but still throws up a lot of his formula
when you start, make sure you start with one thing, such as peas, and then wait a week before trying the next vegetable. after all have been introduced, start on fruits. this is to determine any food allergies. good luck and congrats 
Answer by Volks
You should never do rice in a bottle, it can choke a baby. If you want to feed him rice, it should be done with a spoon.
If you don’t want to feed him rice cereal at all, that’s not a problem. Rice cereal is basically just a filler with very little nutritional value. Yes, it’s loaded with iron, but only 4% of it is bioavailable (meaning 96% of the iron in it cannot be absorbed by the baby).
You can go straight to vegetables and fruits.
My second child was started on solids when she was about 6 months. But it was just a taste or two a day. She didn’t actually eat much solids until she was well over a year old. (Breastmilk or formula should be the main source of nutrition until they are at least a year).
My first daughter had reflux and I started her on solids – because the doctor told me it would help – at 4 months. It didn’t help, it just made her spit up in different colors. So I discontinued them and started again around 6 months. Again, neither of my children ate much of anything except breastmilk until they were well over a year old.
In the beginning, starting solids is about letting them try new tastes and textures and learning to swallow something other than a liquid. It’s not really about nutrition in the beginning. When you start, just give him or her a taste or two, that’s it. Make sure that breastmilk (or formula if you’re not breastfeeding) is the main source of nutrition until he or she is a year old.

Answer by mommyxxx2
if i were you I wouldn’t even feed the baby those things. They’ve been in those jars for a long time. I usually steam my own veggies and blend them
Answer by Dee
Usually there is an expiration date on side or top of the cover. If you can’t find one, call the company or just throw it away. You won’t need it for 6 months anyways and they are only on purees(which you can make on your own) for a few months before switching to table food.
Answer by Logan and Riley’s Mommy!
They should have an expiration date but usually they dont go bad for like atleast 6 months to a year.
Answer by mommy to one
Look on the top of the jar, it will say when they expire. Also, you don’t ’switch’ to baby food, you add it to their diet, just make sure they are still getting the right amount of breast milk or formula. congrats on the baby
Answer by EVANS HERE YAY!!! WHAT A BIG GUY
most are good for 6 months to a year there is an expiration date on them. Your gonna be coming close to the expireation date if its 6 months. ask the folks who got them if they still have reciepts or see if a store will give you store credit call and explain the situation to the manager. if not DONT just throw them away, give them to your local church or so to help needy familys, OR if you need cash for them sell them on craigslist cheaper then the store price… most small jars are .88 the plastic ones are a buck for two.. GL
Answer by Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ liz~
thats kind of early for them to get you baby food. look at this expiration date on it, if they dont get opened they are good til that date….hopefully they make it to the day your baby can eat them.

well .. i started with rice cereal (and never in a bottle) – i dont bottle feed .. but i started my son with rice cereal at about 6 months – then worked my way into vegs & fruits
my daughter was eating rice cereal from 3 months, 4 months i started stage 1’s but only stuck with the squash, potatoes, now she started the fruits only banana so far. and shes 5 months now.
they say not to put the cereal in the bottle cuz the baby can choke that way.
try feeding the baby with the spoon. thats how my daughter preferred it.
All three of mine were different. One I started at four months, the second at 9 weeks ( he was nursing every hour and never satisfied) and went to formula as well, and the third was about 5 1/5 months. I never put it in the bottle I used a spoon. The next step was was the fruits, then the veggies and then the meats. Of course each introduced one at a time over a three day period and watched for reactions so that I knew what they could tolerate.
Many doctors don’t recommend rice cereal anymore, and never in a bottle anyway. The nutrients in rice cereal are hard to absorb, and rice is a simple carb.—>the body converts it to sugar really quickly.
If you wait till your baby is six months, can sit up well, and has no tongue thrust reflex, you can feed just about anything soft or mashed, except nut products, egg whites, and shellfish. The longer you wait, the easier, quicker, and cleaner it is. I started with things like sweet potato, avocado, and bananas.
Every parent does it differently. You can do whatever you want. Some skip the rice and others keep their kids on rice and mix it with food until they get most of their teeth. You can usually start food when they are 4-6 months old. Ask your peditrician what they think is best for your baby! Most parents that I know never put rice in a bottle. Have fun! Hope tis helped!
Putting rice cereal in a bottle is a rather outdated practice that is rarely recommended any more unless it is a very small amount used for thickening to help babies with acid reflux. The current recommendation from many national and world health organizations is to delay solids introduction until 6 months. My kids are now 29, 27, 24, and 11. With my older 3, it was quite common for doctors to say offer solids at 3-4 months, so I began with rice cereal made in a bowl and offered on a spoon to all 3 of them in that time frame. After 4 months we began offering jarred, commercially prepared baby food. With my youngest, she came along as a surprise baby (conceived when I was reliably taking birth control pills for 11 years!). Quite a lot had changed even in those few short years between my youngest and the new baby. I did a lot of research and we decided that I would breast feed her exclusively until we felt she was ready to begin solids. Just before she turned 7 months she seemed interested in what we were eating, so we began by offering her bites from our plates. We skipped rice cereal all together and she basically went right to table foods. She did have a few commercially prepared items, but mostly only when we traveled or went somewhere we weren’t sure there would be appropriate food choices for her like out to dinner or to a friend’s home. At the time we weren’t aware it had a name, but it is called Baby-led weaning. I liked it so much that I wished I had done the same thing with all my babies. She is the best eater, loves all veggies, is very healthy, and willing to try lots of new foods (she loves sushi and mussels). I think the research is rather compelling to delay introducing solids as well as skipping rice cereal or at least limiting it’s use. For nutritional value, infant cereals are seriously lacking. Going straight to commercially prepared or home prepared veggies and fruits provide a much better level of vitamins. If you wait until at least 5-6 months you will find your baby is able to physically eat off a spoon much better since his tongue thrust reflex will have naturally subsided by then.
My son hated rice cereal, so after a few feedings of him refusing it, we just went to baby food. Rice cereal is just a non-nutritional filler and really doesn’t do anything. He was about 6.5 months old when we started.
you should never put cereal in a bottle only feed it by spoon if you ever do. I started my son on stage 1 baby foods at about 3 months by doctors orders. he had sever acid reflux and the heavier food helped keep the food in his stomach. then around 5 months he moved up to stage 2s and at 7 months was on stage 3 and gerber graduates. now he is over 10 months old and solely on table food.
Some people say you should not introduce solids until after a year, and some people say it’s ok to start at 4 months or so. My pediatrician encouraged me to start foods at 4 months, and then table foods by 6 months. Here’s what I say: every baby is different and has different needs. In my case, my 4 month old daughter was grabbing food off our plates, violently. My breast milk just wasn’t satisfying her. This was really hard for me to accept, and my mom kept badgering me about that for weeks. She was convinced too, that my baby needed more. My baby was a very fussy and unhappy baby.
So I tried some baby food, and wow, what a difference. My baby was a completely different child. She was happy and content, and interested in her toys, and different things. I didn’t realize that the fussyness wasn’t normal, because it had creeped up so slowly, and this being my first child, I assumed nothing was out of the ordinary. But my child was open to other foods, as evidenced by her grabbing at our foods on the dinner plates. By 6 months, she was eating more table foods, rather than gerber baby foods. By 9 months, she was eating scrambled eggs, oatmeal with a banana mashed in, salmon, tilopia, chicken, whole wheat breads, peas, cooked green beans, pinto beans, sweet potatoes, bananas, baked apples, cheese, steamed carrots, steamed broccoli, etc. I always added a little salt, and sometimes some butter to make the veggies taste better.
Anyhow, my daughter was always advanced and ahead of the curve when it came to walking, talking, figuring out her toys, manipulating things, communicating, interest in books etc. She is now 14 months, and she is super coordinated and talking up a storm. She is 80th percentile in hight and 75th for weight. The pediatrician has always been so impressed with her, especially when at her 12 month, he asked if she could say any words, and she said a sentence to him “Want to go up!” (meaning, she wanted to be picked up). But some babies actually are content on breast milk for a year or so. My baby could never do that. I hope this gives you some ideas, blessings.
4 months on all three of my children, and they all did really well with it. I started with rice cereal, they moved to applesauce and carrots, sweet potatoes, etc. they didn’t do too good on the greens so I waited a little longer to give them those.
My baby was not a good eater, he gain 1 pound a month only. i decided to introduce solids from 4 month. I’m making my own baby food (clean freak:-))
I didn’t give his rice, because he is not a good pooper).
if you want can give you recipes.
He loves to eat now, but hates milk, so I mix milk with every food I mack for his, especially cereal.
