I just started Oatmeal Cereal with DD and we do it once in the evenings, then I give her a bottle. Pedi. told us to increase as we feel necessary, but we will probably start feeding her twice a day when she is 6 months. Right now she still drinks the same amount of bottles, b/c she is not really eating a lot of oatmeal, we are just really practicing with the spoon.
I plan to give it to her twice a day (once in the morning, once at night). She is drinking a lot of formula right now, so hopefully the cereal will start to fill her up.

She gets rice for lunch at daycare and still eats 16 -20 oz of bm or f as well while at daycare.
She gets BF in the morning and before she goes to bed as well.
