A solids question

CountingUp

How quickly did you go from offering a tsp of a new food to offering them as much of a food as they wanted?

I started with 1 ounce and went up to 2 ounces per meal and thats where we are staying for now. No more no less.

I've pretty much always let her eat whatever.  I feed her solids about an hour after she nurses/gets a bottle and she'll take about 5-6oz (at both morning and evening meals).

The first time, I made 1Tbsp (measured dry) of oatmeal and that was all the first night, but otherwise it's just when what she'll eat (but I do stop after 5-6oz even if I think she'll eat more)

we just stop when he wants to stop. he's not a big solids lover, he usually only eats .5-1oz. we've done avocado and sweet potatoes so far.

We start with a tsp to make sure there is no reactions.  Then the next time, I give him as much as he wants.  I've never measured, so I don't know.
