A: Rice cereal starts around 5-6 months. Most doctors recommend 6 months however there are babies that are ready earlier. Baby food starts around 6 months as well however typically you wait until the baby is comfortable with rice cereal first then slowly introduce different types of baby foods. Drinking formula – depends. Young babies often continue with breastfeeding or formula along with rice cereal and baby food until around a year. You shouldn’t drop breastfeeding or formula just because your baby has started on baby foods. Also, when an infant first starts rice cereal they don’t swallow much at first. It takes them some time to get used to it and to start actually eating it.

Besides if that were the case babies would be eating mush until 2 since they don’t have all thier teeth until then. Most babies get their front teeth first and I have yet to hear of any human that chews with thier front teeth. Gums are strong and work just as well for chewing, they just take a bit longer.
