When do you recommend adding rice cereal to baby formula?

Family practice : Usually around 3 months. Fruits and vegs around 4 months and meats around 6 months.

Never: Formula is balanced nutrition & adding cereals to the bottle does not make kids grow better or sleep better. About 6 mo the kid is able to sit up & participate in a feeding, & cereals can be a good first food to teach baby how to manipulate solids with their tongue. This prepares baby for table foods. Early infant feeds were common in the 50's & 60's when moms made their own formula.It is outdated.
