rice cereal or sth else for first time solid

[a mum]

I tried feeding my 5.5 months baby with rice cereal today.. the first time I introduced him to solid but he doesn't like it. I wonder if it is the taste he doesn't like or he is jut not ready for solid. I want to give him a taste of sth else in case it is the rice cereal he doesn't like. Is it alright to switch or should I keep trying rice cereal?

hi a mum

my baby also did not like plain rice cereal the first time I gave it & almost the same time as you i.e. 5.5 months, I tried 2-3 times. after that i started giving pureed veg & fruits along with flavoured rice cereals like banana etc which are for 4 months + babies. my baby took to those quite well.

thanks aprana, what was your baby's rmeal time routine like when you first introduce him to solid? how many bottles/total milke intake and how many solid meals?
