Feeding cereal question

MamaMiccichi

Had our 4 month check up today and pedi said we could start cereals, I understand the types to start with and he said do once a day to start, my question is consistency, I know it should be soupy, the sheet he provided said 1/2 teaspoon to start then when proficient increase to two times a day at 2 oz of cereal per feeding, now do I keep the soupy consistency that whole month until I start veggies? ( he said for me to start veggies a month later and go thru the colors then introduce fruits). I know stage one food is very puréed and thin, is that the consistency I should work towards? I am one who needs pretty good instruction lol so help is greatly appreciated!

Yes very soupy at first. If you look at the box of cereal it says to mix 1 tbsp cereal with 4 or 5 tbsp bm or formula. Then get thicker as baby gets used to it.
