Q about starting baby foods.

EveryNameIWantIsTaken

So ds does good on the cereal, and his pedi said that at this point we could give him the 1st foods.  However, he didn't really give any recommendations of how much/how often etc.  Anyone have any ideas?

Here is the plan we followed (as recomended by our pedi)

 Cereal in the morning for breakfast for about 2 weeks.

Add a veggie at lunch.  Start with a green veggie (orange/yellow are sweet, some babies might reject the green veggie after getting a taste of the sweet veggies).  Initially he just took 5 or 6 spoons, but we eventually worked our way up to a whole container.  Keep giving that same veggie for 3 or 4 days, then give an orange veggie.  Follow same routine until you introduce all veggies. 

Once all veggies are introduced, then work on fruits in the same manner.  We added the fruit at dinner.  At some point we added cereal at dinner too.

The whole process probably took about 2 months. GL!
