I breast fed my daughters until they were about 9 mo. old and they didn't have cereal until they were 4 mo. old because at that time the doctor said they needed it because of something in it that I was no longer producing in my milk.

But my son was a different story. At 2 mo. old, he needed the cereal! He was 9 lb 11.5 oz at birth and by 2 mo. he already had two teeth. At four months he could sit by himself and by 5 mo he had 8 teeth. He has always been able to eat more than most kids and he is now 18 and is 6'5" and weighs only about 175.

All kids are different, but I do think they need more carbs than adults. I think the absolute worst thing they get and the one that will eventually do them in is the soda. It will cause them to have osteoporosis at an early age.
