Yes I started with rice cereal and as he got older,  I was giving him all the cereals from Gerber.  There is Multigrain cereal,  bananas with apple,  oatmeal,  all kinds.  But not until he was 4 months and 1/2 or 5 I started the other ones.  I would the rice first,  see how he likes it. Not sure what kind of formula he's on but I wouldn't give him more than 1 and 1/2 teaspoon.  Is he a preemie? Mine was,  I'm thinking that's why. I still give it to him in the cow's milk because it gets him full.  My 3 months daughter she's also on rice cereal lol

My 16 months old son had it and his pediatrician recommended cereal in his bottle at every feeding.  It helped him a lot and he was only 2 months. By 6 months,  the acid reflux was gone.  Good luck!  Hope it will help
