If you've started solids...

How long did you do cereal(s) before moving on to sweet potatoes or other pureed foods? We started with rice cereal and stayed with that 1x a day for 2 weeks. Then we switched to oatmeal cereal and will do that for at least a week. But now I'm trying to decide when to move to pureed foods or if I should stick with cereals for a bit longer. My pedi gave me the go-ahead to start solids and to be up to 2-3 times a day by her 6 month appt (she's 5 months now). I wish I had kept better track of what I did for my son as I can't remember what we did when!

We did cereal for about a week before we introduced fruits and veggie's. Phoenix took really well to the cereal so I knew he would do good on the veggie's and fruit. For a month we just did once a day. Now we are up to 2x a day. Breakfast and Dinner

The schedule our pedi gave us was 4 months start cereal, one time a day at first going up to two.  Then at 5 months introduce veggies at lunch time.  Then at 6 months introduce fruits as well at lunch.
