solids

PaMommy02

Hi! My LO is 6.5 months. He started solids about a month ago. I have a friend with a baby the same age. She participates in the WIC program and she told me that wic is providing her 6 month old baby with a stage 2 fruit, stage 2 veg, and meat per day. So thats 3 jars of baby food a day.

My LO eats a stage 1 fruit for breakfast mixed with some cereal and a stage 1 veg for dinner. It seems as if that amount is good for my LO for now, but its significantly less then what the WIC program is recomending for a baby my LO's age.

What do you all think? How much solids should my LO be eating at 6.5 months? He still nurses every 3 hours or so. He dropped down to 5-6 feeds per day since starting solids. I hope Im feeding my LO enough....he seems content. Thanks!

My DD was EBF until 6 months, so at 6.5 months she was only eating oatmeal with fruit for breakfast.  Everything else throughout the day was BM.

I think you are right on, we pretty much have the same schedule as you.

Wic is awful for nutrition they also recommend giving two year old apple juice everyday.
