We are planning to start Josh on rice cereal when he turns 5 months. I think the rice cereal in the bottle is old school. Everything I've read says don't start them on solids until they're 4 months, unless there are medical reasons and if they're old enough to take solids, they're old enough to take them from a spoon. I've also read that they get confused if you're feeding them solids from a bottle.
We heard this advice too ... surprisingly from one doctor, as well!
Here's an article that made me feel better, though...
