When did you stop oatmeal/mixed grains??

Recently my LO is refusing to eat any of this? I do feed her veggies/fruits w/ the mixed grains in it already, just wondering??

My pedi wants us to continue until his 9 month appt.  He said he doesn't mind if it is alone or mixed with fruits/veggies.  He just wants Henry to eat it twice a day.

We usually do 1oz cereal and 1 oz fruit or veggie twice a day

Our pedi said we should continue giving at least 8 tbsp per day (4 in the morning and 4 in the evening).  I usually mix it in with a jar of food though.  The reason the pedi gave us was the added iron is important.

8?!  On top of the veggies and fruits?  I only do two or three ounces of Oatmeal in the evening. 

Dd's pediatrician said to keep giving it to her for the iron but didn't set an end date.

Yep.  I thought it was a bit much as well but DD eats it all with no problems.  Although, the amount of BM she takes per day has gone down to about 20-25 ounces.
