if your child is feeding well on milk, no need to rush feeding semi solids. good to wait til 5-6 mths b4 u start on cereal first.

I agree with Ting. There is no rush, Milk is definitely more nutritious than cereal.

i started my boy on rice cereal one week before he turned 5 months because he doesn't like to drink milk. We gave him one serving a day.

He likes the cereal so much that he takes slightly more than the recommended serving... and he ended up feeling hungry 3 hrs later still... sigh...

i think is very normal for them to feel hungry 3hrs later. dear son also. he now alrdy 13mth but within 1hr after lunch, he will scream for milk again.. haha..

my boy takes 120ml of milk for each feed. when we give him more, he refused. so every 3 hours we gave him 120ml.. really troublesome...
