hi there, i started feeding my bb ard 7 months but PD said can feed earlier like 5 mths if bb dun drink milk well.
ive started him on solids at his coming of 5mths. Feeding him organic rice cereal from this brand called "Only Organic" from New Zealand. I bought it from Carrefour at Suntec. I don't know if other places sell this brand or not. So far my son seems happy to eat it. I mix 2tbs of ceral with 1sp of his milk and add water to the desired consistency. This keeps him full for abt 2-3hrs. After feed will let him drink 1-2oz of water to wash it down. Afternoon will give him half a bottle of heinz baby food as a snack. But this only keeps him full for 2hrs MAX. He's a big eater and i don't think he's fussy (hopefully). He poos almost every other day. If not twice a day! Main thing is when your baby starts on solids, you need to give them water if not quite difficult for them to do biggie 
my babysitter recommended me to get nestle cerelac - rice cereal (without infant milk). there's 1 with infant milk. i attended the weaning talk from BMSG and the speaker also said the 1 with milk is too tasty, end up baby will reject porridge. so my babysitter usu will add 1 baby spoon of this cereal to the milk to make baby feel fuller, else every 3 hours has to feed him 240ml of FM. on wkends i will use this cereal and add a bit of FM to make it into porridge-like and feed son if i very busy, else i will cook own porridge for son to eat then add some heinz puree to give the porridge flavour. coz bbsitter started son on fish porridge n meat porridge when he was 6mths old so i cant feed him plain porridge anymore. son is 7mths old now.
