starting baby on solids need help

edited July 2021 in Ohio Babies

I am a first time mom.  I am not sure what the schedule should be....I gave my 5 month old rice cereal a couple times and she seemed to do okay!  Now, what do I do?  Once I start on  a veggie or fruit do I continue with cereal?

When do you go to multiple feedings of solids per day?  Is it after you go through the whole round of fruits and veggies?  Does anyone have a hand out from their peds or something to follow that is pretty specific I can't find anything out there.

Thanks

  • I went to Gerber and they came up with a plan. We don't do cereal anymore. I feed LO a fruit or veggie in the morning and then what I didn't feed him in the morning I fed him at night. He doesn't have any allergies though. I don't stress if we miss a solid feeding since he still gets all his nutrition from me.
  • There isn't a specific schedule to follow I pretty much go by what my son wants to eat. Sometimes I give him the solids other times just the milk, for sometimes all he wants is the milk.

    A baby can have the cereal as long as you want to give it to them just because you try the fruits or veggies doesn't mean that you have to stop the cereal. Sometimes I mix the cereal with the fruits and veggies to make it thicker to feed to my LO.

    But if you want to see a sample schedule go here:
