Im a first time mom and kinda lost...

I'm planning on starting DS on solids and was wondering if I should get earths best or hipp organic rice cereal ?

Should I give solids after nursing him or before? From all what I have read they say you can do either way ... But what is recommended ?

And when giving them rice cereal should also give fruits as I hear/ read giving only rice cereal causes constipation? If i should give fruits - when should I give that and how much?

I would appreciate if some experienced moms out here can help.

TIA

Note: DS has mild reflux - so anything I should be cautious about ?

Thanks mommies... Any thoughts on which brand I should go with? Hipp or earths best? Or is this like what they say for formula - you have to try different ones to see what the bub will take? And cereal should be made with BM I assume as DS is EBF.

some reflux babies have a reaction to rice cereal so many go with the oatmeal. Mine was the opposite and oatmeal didn't sit well.

I was told from a professional and also read that its best to give them milk first. When you are starting solids milk is still their main source of food, its most important in the beginning. Not sure if rice cereal constipates babies, it certainly doesn't constipate my baby.

I would give him a BF first to take the edge of his hunger, he could get very frustrated with solids that they're not coming fast enough if he's ravenous.
