Solids, 2 Months and Eating Cereal?

In general it's too early, but to some extent it depends on the child.
My mother started feeding me cereal in addition to formula when I was
2 months old because I was a huge and very hungry baby and no matter
how much formula I was getting, it wasn't enough. The pediatrician
told her, "The babies don' t ead the books. If you've got a hungry
baby, feed her what makes her stop being hungry."

My son (born in '75) was large for the times and stayed in the
hospital 5 days due to a rash that proved completely harmless.
They began feeding him cereal at 4 days because he was "starving
1/2 hour after feeding". He ate ravenously until age two when
he modified. He's been very healthy-lean ever since.
