You can start with single grain cereals for 4 to 6 months to rule out allergies, introduce one in three days. You can find them in Gerber, Aptamil, Cow and gate. When your child hits 6 months, you can introduce cereals and pap. You will find a lot of varieties here as most cereals are from 6 months (i do august secret and variety of cereals). You could also go for homemade pureed food, (read back a page and see alphahandmaidens post) also check her blog too. Don't stop the formula, apart from his formula intake, you can mix with pap/other cereals that do not contain milk. From 9 months, you can start introducing finger foods to ur baby.

Note that some babies don't do this cereal thing and go straight to swallowing our usual meal once they hit six months. Find out ur los preferences and let him enjoy the transition
