Its between 4-6 months. I think it
depends on how they're developing and if u
think they're ready enough to start. How
old is ur baby? If u wanna start her,
start by giving her baby 2 spoonfuls a day
(mixed with formula or breastmilk) and if
she seems to be taking well to it, then
its okay to start em on cereal!

I have heard that if u start them before 4
months or after 6 they are at a higher
risk for diseases like cancer. I dont
know where I heard it but thats what I
heard.

I'd say around 4 months, depending on how
he/she is developing. Some babies develop
faster or slower than others. Your
pediatrician will tell you when it's time
to start cereal.
Kaitlyn was 3 months. We put her on it
because she wasn't able to keep down her
milk without it. She had reflux very bad.
So we'd spoon feed her a little bit nad
then give her a bottle. We never put it
in her milk. I don't like that. So we'd
spoon feed her and then give her a bottle.
