My son liked to eat cereal when he was 6 mths. But he began to have his first 2 teeth at 6.5 mths. He has no interest to eat. After that, he began to drink milk again. But not cereal or congee. He eats 3-5 baby spoon of cereal and cry to eat congee. He is now 7.5 mths. I just wait for his interest to eat.
