Can start cereal: You can start your baby on cereal at this point, if you want. Add some rice cereal to breast milk or formula (not cow's milk) and try that one or two times a day for 4 or 5 days. You can try barley or oat cereal after that before continuing on with vegetables. There's no hurry though.

Breast milk is a : complete food that has protein, minerals and immunoglobulins in to protect the baby's immune system. Most important is your diet, and what you eat, so that it contains high antioxidant fruits and vegetables, proteins to produce really healthy breast milk. You must eliminate your intake of refined sugars, GMO's, caffeine, diet sodas, processed, spicy foods that could irritate your baby's gut.
