Zack totally started with the dada. He is just now, months later, starting with mamama. It's still an indiscriminately uttered syllable (he just came up with it yesterday), but I have hope.
Btw, veggies and fruits are better starters for still-developing digestive systems. I know grains are super common for that, but in our research on foods and babies and stuff due to Z's allergies, we turned up some good sources on it. I will try to find them. I also recall that when you do start grains, it's best to soak them a bit first - like for sprouting, but not all the way to sprouts. Obviously a little brown rice cereal doesn't do any harm, I just thought I'd mention. I hope giving unsolicited advice in my first ever comment on your LJ doesn't get me on the sh*t list. :>
