It is a mixed bag here with cereal bottles as well. Some doctors don't want babies having any solids until 12 months old. Something to do with allergies. All I know is that for generations my family has had them with the 'x' cut in the nipple.. lol - heck now they even make the nipples with the x already cut...

I was able to breast feed my daughter until she was 1 1/2 years old, but did introduce a small portion of cereal to her when she was 10 months old before bedtime.

Don't have much more to add Lou. Do what you are comfortable with - you know your little guy the best! (((LOU)))
