a few more solids questions

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

yup, I'm becoming the board's resident solid question whore.  I think it's what my last 5 posts have been.  ohh well. 

 Anywhoo, I've given DD avacado for the last 3 days.  Do I not give it to her tomorrow?  Should she have a day without solids so that I can introduce a new solid on Friday? Whats the point of that?

Then, when can I start giving her more than one solid in a day? Like could I give her avacado in the morning then try a new food in the afternoon?

I tried looking on wholsomebabyfood.com but couldn't find what I was looking for.  Thanks ladies.  Sorry to be such a pest!

    We barely touched on the topic of solids today because the pedi wants us to wait until 6 months, but I could have sworn she said only one new food a week.

    I've read every 4 days.  I guess different sources, different info.?.?.?

    We have been giving DS a new food every 4 days. Tonight will be the 4th night giving squash and tomorrow we will start with carrots! I think the main reason why you go every 4 days or so is to gauge whether or not they are having an allergic reaction.

     Exactly. We started w/ carrots, then sweat potatoes, and tried (and loved) avocado today!

    Give a new solid for 4 days but no longer than 7, you don't need to wait a day between solids. If your DD shows signs that she needs more food (milk is filling her, waking up more, eating more often) it is time to add another solid feeding. And yes, you can feed 2 in one day. Either at the same meal or different ones as long as one of those solids is already on your safe list.
