Gassy after feeding solid.... is it normal?

[litomi]

Hihi,
My LO is 6.5mo. now and we started solid few weeks ago. We have tried rice cereal and apples. My problem is that my LO becomes very gassy after eating solid  
Any suggestions?  Should I switch to other food?

I think it is pretty normal when they first start solids.  You could always try a different cereal, like oatmeal or barley.  I found my son was really gassy when he ate the mixed grain cereals, so we just stick to oatmeal.  It is also normal when starting veggies for babies to get gassy at first.
