what is my ds supposed to be eating right now?

We only saw the pedi at a 6 month well baby. we don't see them again until 1 year.

The last thing they said was to start on rice, fruits and veggies.

Right now he is still eating homemade puree's with rice and oatmel too.

I guess you could say he's still on stage one stuff. Is he supposed to be eating more? meats and finger foods??

Is there some sort of guide book I should have when it comes to feeding my child? I'm lost!

i don't really have an answer but wanted to say I'm in the same boat.  DS only eats oatmeal and some fruit and veggie purees.  He just doesn't seem interested in trying new solids...he definately still prefers the bottle.  I tried to give him a puff the other day and he pretty much gagged.  I figure DS has a sensitive gut anyway that I'm not going to push more solids until maybe 9 months or if he starts showing signs he wants more.

our pedi gave us a guideline for eating.  at 8 mos, the suggested schedule is as follows:  fruit/cereal for b-fast, veg/fruit for lunch, veg/fruit/cereal for dinner.  total of 1-2 jars.  not sure on formula or BM ounces, but imagine the same as you're doing now...

It's really up to you! I added meats at that age because iron is so important, but it's also in formula and vitamins (not sure if you FF or BF) . There are lots of books out there, it's worth at least getting a couple from the library to see what suits you.

Purees are fine. DD started eating avocado and banana (in hand) around your DC's age, and is now eating cubes of cheese, bread, steamed veggies, etc., plus chunkier purees that I make. Have fun with it! And remember to try a new food for 4 days in a row before adding another.
