DD is 9 months old and we just introduced rolled oats for breakfast this week. This is the first grain she has ever had. Next we will introduce barley or quinoa. Wheat will be last. Cereals should be among the last things you introduce in the first year. Introducing them early, (at like 3.5 months) has been linked to diabetes, obesity, and allergies. Plus, infant cereals are over processed and are nothing more then a filler. They really offer no nutritional value, and are "frotified" with non-heme iron, which inhibits the absorption of iron from breastmilk.
We've waited until DD can have regular old rolled oats. I grind them up in the coffee grinder with some flax seed, and add some chopped apples and cinnamon. Yummy. (What she doesn't eat, I do!).

I tried giving her 6 oz of milk instead of 4 but she won't take it all at one time and then is hungry a hour later.

That's normal. At 4 months old DD ate every 45 mintutes to an hour, sometimes an hour and a half.

Whats the usual routine for feeding??

What ever worked for my daughter. If she was hungry, I fed her. I didn't try to stretch her feedings out by filling her up, it's unhealthy.
He never had any issues with it and it has worked like a charm since.
