My baby is 18 weeks old.. he is on formula only he takes 180 to 210 mls bottle every 3 hours during the day and sleeps through out the night... when is the right time to start with cereals?

At 4 months of age, baby rice cereal may be introduced. The cereal is usually fortified with iron and at this age, this adds important nutritionally value. The introduction of new food groups may be discussed with your Pediatrician. Vegetables and fruits may be introduced first, and new food added every three days when the baby is older. Watch for rash, itching, swelling to identify any allergies
