When to start stage 2 solids..

ravenmama

Hi everyone!  I'm curious as to when you all started the stage 2 solids.  My boys are champs when it comes to eating.  They each eat 2 solids a day plus oatmeal/rice cereal.  They always seem like they could eat more.  They are also still drinking about 30 oz of formula a day.  Do you think it's time for stage 2?

Stage 2 at least for Earth's best is not any different from stage 1 -- just a bigger jar.?

yes, i agree with pp Earth's Best is no different. We started stage 2 right at 6 months old and they haven't had any issues. I found that stage 2 green beans by Gerber seem thicker then everything else though...so I usually add some water to thin it out. My kids are doing 30 oz of formula and 2 solids a day with cereal too so it sounds like the exact same.

We've been to stage 1 and 2...haven't noticed any difference at all. Our girls get 32 oz a day plus two solids a day....

your little guys are cute....love the smirk on the one on the left!

I used stage 2 once my girls turned 6 mths

they eat cereal with fruit in the morning (4 tblsp cereal and 1/2 container fruit)

they eat 1/2 jar of stage 2 for lunch

for dinner, 1/2 jar each of a meat, vegetable and fruit

the only difference between stage 1 and 2 is the size

Thank you for the replies everyone.  I think we'll move up to stage 2.  I'm sure the boys thank you too!!
