LO has been eating cereal since around 4.5 months. He's 5.5 months now. We just moved him from the rice cereal to the oatmeal and we want to start feeding him veggies and fruits. He is still breastfeeding and I always nurse him first then give him his cereal (about 4 tablespoons) and he gets the cereal twice a day. My question is, when we start veggies do we take away one of his cereal feedings? Does his still get breastmilk first? I don't want to overfeed him, so I'm not sure how to do this. Any advice?
I give LO oatmeal with fruit mixed in for the morning feeding, and then oatmeal with a veggie mixed in for dinner. She doesn't like straight fruit or veggie yet. She only eats about 2 tbsp. per feeding at this point.
Re: Solids...so confusing!
I just read this article by Dr Sears and think it will help you.
