What solid foods did you start with?

How many times a day do you offer solids?

How many ounces of bm or formula does your dc drink?

 

Thanks.

I started DS off with sweet potatoes.

Right now I'm only offering solids once a day.

Generally, DS eats about 30 oz of formula per day, but he's been pigging out and eating about 35 for the last couple of days.

we started at 4.5months.

started with- rice cereal. four days later veggies. one new one every four days. we did fruit around 5.5 months. and meat 'dinners' around 6months.

she eats solids twice a day. lunch and dinner. She is a little abnormal when it comes to eating solids (comparing from babies on here: bad i know)- but she will eat 4oz of fruit or veggie and three tablespoons of cereal with two oz or so of milk each meal (which is a lot--- i think) She eagerly eats anything i put near her. and she DEFINITELY lets me know when she is done (both with solids and BM)

She takes around 40-45oz of breastmilk (I EP). Pedi thinks I should add a third meal soon. She was 7lbs at birth and weighed 15lbs at four months and 17.5lbs at six months.

We did rice cereal for a few days, oatmeal for a few days, then sweet potato, apples, peas, pears, and next will be banana.  We have yet to meet a food he doesn't like!

I'm offering it 2x a day - about an hour after his first feeding in the am he gets whatever food is "new", and then around 5ish he gets something he's had before, usually mixed with cereal or oatmeal.  I try to mix it up, if he gets a veggie in the am, then it's fruit in the pm, or vice versa.

I have no idea how much he drinks, but he's nursing 5x a day.

We started with cereal then moved to sweet potatos.

 Solids mostly once sometimes twice/day

DD still nursing like a champ

We started with cereal...2 weeks later we did green beans,  we did a new food every 4 days or so.  

 He gets solids 3 time a day,  2 at Daycare and 1 at home. 

He gets 4 to 5 8 oz bottles a day.

I started him with rice cereal at 5 months, then moved on to oatmeal, which didn't seem to agree with him, then barley. We then moved on to sweet potatoes, applesauce, and carrots. We now give him a cereal twice a day, and since we're trying new foods, those are at dinner. I hate to say it, but I haven't been paying attention to how many ounces lately. I'd say probably between 24 and 28 oz.

We started w/ rice cereal, and have since the intro'd: sweet potatos, peas, green beans, pears and bananas. Carrots tomorrow!

We feed her rice cereal w/ pears usually in the morning (since everything else seems to 'clog' her.. pears helps), then a veggie at night mixed w/ a little cereal.

DD is BF ... I'd assume she's taking about 4oz per feeding, 7-9 times a day.

What solid foods did you start with? I started withn rice cereal but went with oatmeal a week later. We haven't used rice since. We then did sweet potatoes ann the other usual stage 1 foods.

How many times a day do you offer solids? I just started offering three times today. Before today, I was doing two, but she's been taking a good amount so I figured I'd try a breakfast. Keep in mind, we technically started at 4mos.....but then I took a 1month break (she wasn't as ready as I would've liked) and started again at 5mos twice a day.

How many ounces of bm or formula does your dc drink? I don't know; I breastfeed.

Thanks.

Started with bananas.  I EBF and have heard that bananas are the best to start with since they are the most similar tasting. She LOVED them!

We just do solids in the evening for dinner.  We've been doing solids for only about 3 weeks now.

She gets 3 bottles of 4.5oz of BM at daycare and I nurse her another 4 or 5 times throughout evening/night/morning
