Let her know that you read about how it should not be started until 6 months. Any baby book you read will advise this. She may just be more easy going then most doctors. I had two pediatricians and they both were dead set against it.

Not a good idea to give anything but formula and/or nurse until your baby is at least 6 months old. My dd had a bad reaction to cereal at 6 months. I then stopped and only gave forrmula until she turned 11 months old. Then I started to try solids which she still does not like at 14 months. Your doctor should tell you the same.

Do the seizures happen with fever? If so - NO worry - If not you may be experience epilepsy which hopefully he will outgrow. Sounds like you are doing everything right with the doctors. These are very scary but like the doctor told me they are worse for you then your baby.
