Babies: 9 - 12 Months

solids

Can anyone give me a small sample of what your lo solids schedule was like when they first started I am trying to figure out how much I should be giving and when, right now he eats 1 small jar of apples in am then 2 tablespoons of cereal at night and every 2 days I am going to try a new fruit/veggie and he has his bottles in between.  I need to know when to do more. TIA

Re: solids

  • Just to let you know... they suggest 3-5 days between trying new foods.

    at first - 8 am bottle, 12 bottle, 4 bottle, 6 solids, 8 bottle

    Solids was 1tsp of cereal, then working our way up to 3 tbsp... then I started adding in fruit.

    We just started 2 meals last week after 3 weeks of solids and he eats 5 tbs at each meal, cereal and fruit in the morning, cereal and veggie at ngiht.

    in 2 more weeks I'll add in lunch probably.

    Plus i give him mum mum's as a snack during the day

     Good luck,

  • C was on cereal for quite a while before we introduced anything else. ?We started bananas in the morning with some oatmeal after 3 weeks of just cereal. ?Then every 3-4 days we introduced a new veggie. ?He's had peas, carrots, and green beans. ?Today we will begin butternut squash. ?The last "1st veggie" i'm going to give him is sweet potatoes.

    I have all of the above in the freezer and just made peaches today. ?Eventually, each morning we'll do a fruit with oatmeal. ?Every night we do a veggie with rice. ?He's taking about 32 ounces of formula. ?

    We won't do a 3rd meal until after speaking with the pedi, but I think that comes around 7 or 8 months.?
