solids question

When is it time to offer twice-a-day feedings?  DS has been working on purees for a few weeks now and will chow down 2 Tbsp like its going out of style.  I'm hesitant to add a 2nd feeding because I still want to make sure he's getting enough fluids.  

I've read that as long as the baby has 32oz a day, solids are ok but I have no idea how much he gets bc he's primarily BF and we supplement 1 bottle of formula at night.

    I do 2 feedings a day, once in the morning and another after the second to the last bottle.... both are given an hour after her feeding... she drinks 5oz of breastmilk... I EP so she is definitely getting all her feedings and enjoying her solids :

    I am glad you posted this. I have been wondering the same exact thing. DS is EBF and also eating purees once a day. I BF and then move on to the solids and he also chows down and then cries for more!

    We do this exactly, except he takes 6 oz of formula.

    WOW - thanks for the post!  I have had the same question, but didn't think so many were getting solids twice a day!  looks like LO will be getting a breakfast solid too starting this week.  She basically inhales her 1oz of solids in the evening now.  We started about 2 weeks go, I believe....my days are starting to run together.

    My pedi suggested to move to two feedings when they eat 2oz at a feeding. Right now, Cole eats about 1.5 oz purees.

    Then again, I don't really follow my pedi's advice with feeding solids. lol

    I still only do once a day (and sometimes skip days) for the mere fact that my days are so hectic I can barely fit it in. It's going to be quite an adjustement when I have to feed both my toddler and infant 3 meals a day! At least they will be eating the same things eventually.
