1 year old. Traditional philosophy pushes waiting until the child is one year old. However, it is very common for parents and healthcare workers who care for premature children and infants with reflux to add rice cereal to formula. If you do begin feeding solid food to an infant, begin with one type such as rice cereal and start with small portions or amounts. Watch for any distress or negative results (colic or constipation, even diaper rash). If such occurs, stop.
