Our son is 6 months old and has always been in the top for his height and bottom for his weight. At his last check up he was 97% for height and 19% for weight. Well his doctor wants us to put him on rice cereal to help him gain weight. I don't want to give him empty foods that have no nutritional value. The doctor insists I need to focus on giving him calories and not worry so much about nutrients. I told him no and he didn't keep pushing, but I am still looking for legitimate research regarding rice cereal for babies first food. If I do start him on food now what were the first foods you gave your baby and when? Any other idea weight gain? He is a very active and healthy baby! Sits up, scoots around, has 2 teeth, laughs, smiles and sleeps great! I was not worried about him at all!!! But his doctor is starting to get me a little worried about his weight! TIA!!
